New 2-Women Show: "From Heart to Stone"

"From Heart to Stone": Two-women show at Cafe 111 Lisgar in the Ottawa City Hall.

My friend Luminita Serbanescu and I invite you to visit our new show, "From Heart to Stone" at Cafe 111 Lisgar situated in the Ottawa City Hall. The show will run until the end of June with a "Meet the Artists" reception on Thursday, May 9th from 1 to 3.

Luminita's main sources of inspiration are the ever-changing and intangible human emotions while I am attracted by the solidity and permanence of stonework: carvings, gargoyles and the Green Men created by so many different cultures. The surprising element in this artistic meeting is that we find a common ground:Canadan and the City of Ottawa is a backdrop of many or our paintings and our shared love of nature becomes a transitional thread between us.
Please note that the Cafe is open weekdays from 7 am to 4 pm.

  2. Christiane, this sounds like a fun time. Sure wish i were in the area and could attend. It would be great to meet you and see all your beautiful creations up close. I am not aware of similar type shows in and around Calgary. You are very creative when it comes to finding and organizing venues. Best wishes for a successful showing.

    1. It was fun. I too wish that you could come to one of my shows. I am now the co-curator of 2 galleries in Ottawa cafes. I am really starting to like showing in this type of informal venue. It's a win-win situation for artists and restaurant owner. Approach a few restaurants - they would probably be delighted to have your delightful art on their walls.

  6. Thank you so much, Rosemary. I too wish that you could see this show...but I don't recommend that you come to Ottawa all the way from Florida just to see it:-) With all the shows lately, I have not had much time to paint. I have to get back to my brushes soon!
