Dear Saanich South,
2012 was an amazing year of Saanich South art on display at
my constituency office. Each time a new talent is showcased, I host an evening
open house so that all of my constituents can appreciate their creations.
And now, to close out this year, my office is proud to
present the works of award-winning print maker, Jenn Whitford-Robins.
Jenn’s works have been shown in galleries and fine art shows
since 1992 - and her prints can be found in collections around the world.
The art on exhibition in my office includes many pieces from
Jenn’s Arctic Series. They demonstrate Jenn’s mastery of many techniques
including monotype, photo etching, embossing, collograph and watercolours.
There are also several pieces using a technique developed by Jenn, that she
calls ‘metal monotype’.
There are also pieces from her West Wind, West
Coast and Fragility collections.
These pieces ranges from muted shades of white and grey
depicting frozen expanses to textures and shapes that shift with the light to
rich shimmering patterns that ‘whisper’ when you pass them.
To offer my constituents the opportunity to browse these
amazing works of art and to thank Jenn for sharing her art with Saanich South,
I am hosting an Art Show and Year-End Open House at my office.
Friday, November 23, 2012
5:00pm – 8:00pm
4085 Quadra Street (corner of
Nicholson, north of McKenzie)
I hope you will join us for light
refreshments and good company.
Also, starting on November 23 and
running until my office breaks for the holidays, I will be hosting a food drive
for the Mustard Seed Food Bank. Feel free to drop-off non-perishable food items
Monday – Thursday, 9:30am – 5:00pm.

See you then.
