Next Meeting 6 pm Wednesday, February 8
Our first meeting of 2023 occurred Wednesday, Jan 11! Our guest artist demonstrating was Roxsane Tiernan. Roxsane Tiernan was born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area. She became an international educator teaching high school and marketing for the district in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Mexico. She is a Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists showing in over 70 juried shows. She studied Applied Arts at Capilano College in the mid-seventies and started painting seriously in 2000 when she joined the FCA and Burnaby Artists Guild. She really likes the challenges of interpreting local nature using chigiri-e—Japanese torn paper collage. She gives workshops and lesson in this technique even in Finland or Manitoba. Roxsane joined the North West Collage Society which is centered in Seattle. Her work was featured on their posters and invitations. She has won several awards locally and internationally mostly for mixed media or chigiri-e pieces. You can find her work on Facebook Roxsane K.Tiernan; on both the Burnaby Artists Guild and South Delta Artists Guild facebook pages as well as roxsanetiernan.com on My Art Club.com; www.roxsanetiernanartandsoul.com and https://roxsanetiernanartandsoul.com/writing. ART and SOUL has her poetry and artworks together.
