Nuit Blanche 2013

Nuit Blanche Ottawa/Gatineau: Live from the Base Camp

Nuit Blanche 2013, The cold and rain was a challenging setting. Yet, the artists still proved that the weather will not hold us back. As one of the invited artist to participate this year, my idea was to present one of my projection in a clean and different way. I present to you the projection box. As many of you know I'm not one to enjoy the black frame, white walls setting. But, knowing I was under a white tent and that I wanted to build a projection box. I build a frame with a cut matte board and inserted a LCD screen so that it looked like a tradition photo, but, on the inside I presented one of my newest projections, Ruelle. Still photography with integrated video movement. This movement is pronounced by rain drops and lighting to add texture and movement.

Hirundininae: Ruelle Verte

On October 6th 2023 in Windsor Ontario during Free for All Walls… I went down with a heart attack all while I was painting a Mural. After 6 weeks of recovery with many ups and downs both physically and mentally. I pulled myself together, made a deal with myself that life on the other side of this episode can only get better. My goal: come back better and stronger. Allowing everything to take its time and leaving myself open to continue exploring my creativity. Yesterday for the first time since Windsor I painted a Mural. With the amazing help from the best team mate, friends and talented hand  @jshantzart  Jeremy I can’t thank you enough for giving me the confidence to jump back on the horse. Push my style even further and continually being a positive and understanding human. Your the best.

Three years later, Jamie’s leaving the education department of the National Gallery of Canada. Changes have come to the department, and I must move on. Today was my last day. I’m sad it happened this way. I had three great years here. Giving guided tours, in community workshops, studio workshops and kiosks for ALL age groups. This environment has pushed me to get back to many art forms I had forgotten; Silk Screening, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpting and pretty much anything else you can think of in the visual art world. Worked with some amazing people, experienced some world class art first hand, but now it’s time. Much love to all of you, I learned so much in such a little time. images courtesy of Staff, Rebecca Miller & MIV Photography for the National Gallery of Canada
