*Studio Visits spotlight enterprising people
*During Covid-days many artists found extra time for studio work.
Why not share your latest creations in a Studio Visit webpage?
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Within a week, businesses, restaurants, schools and parks were closed and social distancing became a way of life. Now in fall, Victoria is emerging into a new state of balance. Under 2020 Events are four arts-related articles I wrote for Focus on Victoria during March-July 2020. Xchanges re-opened with Phototextrinum in September and Gage Gallery showed Joanna Pettit in October and Martina Edmondson in November. During December 2020 Gage Gallery hosts a group show. Creativity continues and nourishes us all.

Nice things they've said...
Sept 2020 from Joanna Pettit.
I’m really pleased with the look of the webpage Kate. You’ve done an awesome job of making my scattered comments into a cohesive written piece. And I love seeing my paintings presented together on the webpage. I’m really excited about mounting this show when I see how nice they look together. Joanna Pettit Webpage

Joanna's show at Gage Gallery was a great success!
"Many people came to see the show," she says, "and I was thrilled to sell eight paintings."

Hi Kate. You are doing a wonderful job on your art blog!! I am impressed by the flow in your writing. I like how you include the artist's vision of their work through well-placed quotes, while sticking to your own observations and insights into the works.

In 2013, Kate profiled my career as a BC visual artist with a Studio Visit webpage. Kate has a keen sense of design and skillfully combines text with excellent photography. Webpage updates are feely given. My Studio Visit assisted me with documentation, writing support and vital encouragement. Roberta's Studio Visit

Thanks so much Kate, the webpage is very good, you are an excellent writer. I especially love the final sentence, people sometimes tell me they feel like a bee, right in the middle of my flowers. Marney Ward Webpage
