The Magic of Lanterns

A recent trip to Jardin Botanique in Montreal to photograph the lantern festival netted some fun shots. We arrived in the Chinese garden just at dusk and began trying to record these wonderful, whimsical designs.

The lantern exhibit happens every year from early September to early November and is always a treat for the eyes and spirit. The larger-than-life sized figures and scenes all express a theme which changes each year. As is custom we got rained on for part of the evening! Seems most years we go to the lantern festival it’s cold and rainy… we were chilled but happy when we left.

My blog today is in memory of my friend Laura, a sweet woman taken from us far too early.

WanderArtist

As an expression of my love of the processes and transformative power of creating art I have enjoyed teaching and sharing my knowledge with young and old. Over the years I have trained myself to teach other artists and aim to inspire others to discover the creativity innate in themselves. I am a practicing artist who has expanded my art making beyond the studio into participatory engagement with different people in different settings. I lead young people and adults in creative experiences that deepen their understanding and engagement with the world around them and with their own creative fire. I create my own unique Place-Based art – translating my flashes of wonder and impressions of a place onto the printed page through the laborious and time-consuming ancient technique of relief printing.
