Lily S. May–Life with Art
This is another block print I recently made but did not enter in The Heart Show that the other four will be in. I felt this one--another version of a heart of fire--stood outside the series I had made and stood on its own. So, another time and place... The Heart Show--January 30 - February… Continue reading Another Heart and A Show
Here are the 4 block prints I've made for the upcoming heart show at Gerrard Art Space in Toronto. The gallery has called for submissions of up to four pieces which got me thinking about the four chambers of the heart. This led me to the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. Though I… Continue reading Aspects of the Heart
The Printmaking Show at GAS--Gerrard Art Space--in Toronto that I'll be in begins this week. If you're in the area, do drop in. I'll be at the reception Thursday night the 28th from 6 - 8. Click here for more information. Detail from The Search linocut.

The organizers received over 700 prints from 300 artists. Around half were selected by the jury. The show will open in late September in Vancouver, BC. I'm interested in seeing… Continue reading Good News

The blue print called Dreamscape is the one that remains. Here it is printed on Japanese paper: The print I thought of… Continue reading Changes
Yesterday the high in Toronto was 36 C, that's just shy of 97 F. Our air conditioner, which we are fortunate to normally have, was out of commission because of massive reconstruction in our building. I needed to go somewhere to counteract not only the heat but some of the terrible news of various forms of hatred that is… Continue reading When It’s 36 C
There's a wonderful exhibit on right now at the Textile Museum of Canada in Toronto that I highly recommend. I've been to see it twice and will be returning again. It's called "Fictions and Legends" and is the work of artists Heather Goodchild and Jérôme Havre. The beauty of this show is not only in… Continue reading Fictions & Legends at the Textile Museum
