Gifts Of My Hands THIS MONDAY!

This Monday July 29, 2013 I will be exhibiting and selling my artworks and items at the Gifts Of My Hands Summer Market!  The show runs from 3:00pm to 7:00pm and is on the second floor of the Sorauren Park Fieldhouse.  The craft market is held at the same time as the farmers market, so come on down and support your local artisans and farmers!

Malinda Prud'homme @ YD | Toronto

On Sunday July 21, 2013 one of my artworks, "Beautiful Ambiguity", was exhibited in the Youth Day Gallery at the YD | Toronto Festival!  Since I was already exhibiting in the BIG ON BLOOR Festival I had to send my better half to Yonge & Dundas Square to capture the event.  I instructed him to take many pictures so I would feel like I had been there and boy did he ever deliver.  This man spends many summer weekends working from dawn to dusk with me doing these shows, I really could not ask for a more loving and supportive partner. :)

When Darren returned from his journey he was excited to share with me that many people had been inquiring about the price of the piece and were interested in buying it. As an artist I try never to get excited about things until there are finalized because so often we are disappointed, but Darren had a feeling I would have an e-mail waiting for me when I got home. Sure enough there was an e-mail from a lovely woman from Edmonton, Alberta who did buy the piece. What an incredible end to an amazing weekend!

Malinda Prud'homme @ BIG ON BLOOR

This past Saturday and Sunday July 20 & 21, 2013 I took part in the BIG ON BLOOR Festival for the first time! I've lived in Toronto for three years now and every year I wonder whether or not I would be accepted into this event. It was really incredible to take part and feel like a true part of the community. :)

I talked with so many incredible and encouraging people, at the end of the day my face would be soar from smiling. On top of that, it was by far my most successful event as I sold THREE original artworks on Sunday. Both owners were incredible people and I am so glad they will be enjoying my art. It was a truly amazing weekend and I cannot wait to participate next year!

COMMISSION

 

 

I am VERY proud of my newest commissioned piece "Blake" which took about a full weeks worth of work; time consuming, but more than worth it. Tara, Blake's mom, had the baby portrait commissioned. :)

Though I am not able to attend Youth Day | Toronto (as I will be exhibiting my work in the Big On Bloor Festival) I am extremely thrilled to have been chosen for such an important event.

 

YD | T.O is a FREE annual festival celebrating the positive achievements of young people showcasing their MUSIC, DANCE, ART & PHOTOGRAPHY in front of some 30,000 visitors!

 

My artwork was chosen to be in the tented YD Art Gallery which is set up in order to inspire Toronto's artistic youth community.  As I am already exhibiting on Bloor I was only able to send one of my artworks for the YD Gallery, however, I am hoping that this piece will showcase my creativity.

 

If you do attend YD | Toronto please have a look at my artwork in the YD Art Gallery tent!
