ArtBridgeCanada - Taking the National Dream to the Web

 Art can be a way of life. It certainly is the path I follow, surrounded by nature. 

Creativity tends to be a solitary adventure of discovery in which mistakes and successes are all just opportunities for learning - getting better in your own eyes. Inspiration abounds everywhere and just asks to be imaginatively expressed. You control your journey, and who knows where it will lead? 

But there is more. Artists can share, inspire, and learn from one another. We are all in this together!  Long-time friends recently launched ArtBridgeCanada. The national non-profit employs the positive powers of the World Wide Web to connect artists, allowing them to collaborate and flourish. In many ways, this is a continuation of the dream of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven to create a Canadian identity which is as unique as the landscape and the weather. 

The time has arrived to reinvigourate that national dream and foster the Canadian cultural identity. You will see me on the ArtBridgeCanada Advisory Council. There is room for more.

I only post about art and science. Both topics still make sense to me, although quantum mechanics is a stretch! I also prefer positivity. ArtBridgeCanada qualify on all three of these conditions. 

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
