Music and art filled St. John’s Chapel at the University of Manitoba on December 4th & 5th with my art collective’s latest show: INTERVALS. The ArtStrong Ensemble collaborated with f/action to create a beautiful experience of sight and sound based on the theme of time and space. After months of planning, rehearsing and preparing artwork, the show came together quite delightfully. We were honoured to have our artwork on display amidst a very talented duo of harpist Olivia Ritchey and flutist Sara Hahn. Here are a few photos from the event. Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the music and artwork. We got some great feedback and are excited to have come together to make it happen! Thanks also to Olivia and Sara of ArtStrong – we had an amazing two evenings of beautiful music.
