Dear Readers,
I painted these hearts in February, but I think hearts are good all year round. What do you think?

I’m so excited to be offering my paintings for sale via my website and Facebook! I’ll be posting new paintings every few days during the month of June. In July, I’m off on a painting holiday in Holland, then I’ll continue to post more paintings for sale in August.
I paint in a variety of styles at a variety of prices, so I hope there will be something here for everyone. Please check back often for updates.

A favourite painting for my “June Painting Sale”. I painted this while living in Bangkok in 2007. I was walking down the street and saw an attractive water feature in someone’s front yard, a rectangular pool of water with lotus flowers blooming, sun shining on the corner of the pool. I took a quick photo and painted it at Attic Studios in Bangkok, where my teacher, Russel Fadavi worked.
Oil on canvas, 40″ x 32″, framed. $1200.
“Lotuses in Lumpini Park”. This print is of a watercolor painting I did while living in Bangkok, Thailand. I became fascinated with lotus flowers while there, they’re so beautiful and such an important part of Thai culture. While walking in Bangkok’s largest green space, Lumpini Park, I came across a small pond with a tangle of lotuses. I snapped a photo and then painted this in the studio of my artist friend and mentor, Russell Fadavi. I made several prints to give away to family and I just came across my last remaining print, which I am now offering for sale. Let me know if you’re interested in having this print adorn your wall! 15.5″ x 12″ $60 SOLD

Dear Readers,
I was so pleased with my first art exhibit in Vancouver. If any of you out there are considering exhibiting, I highly recommend starting on a level you’re comfortable with, such as in a cafe or bookstore, as the experience is so rewarding. It’s fun to host a party where people say nice things to you about your work or at least about your effort if your work is not their style. And you learn many of the steps you will need to know later on if you ever exhibit in a gallery, making that experience less frightening. It’s good to get out of your comfort zone and take steps forward!
All the best,
Maryan

Dear Reader,
This was my first art exhibit in Vancouver since returning to BC in 2012. My paintings are hanging at a neighborhood hair salon that shows different artists’ work for 2-3 months at a time. The two friendly owners of Volution Salon, Jen and Krissy, were a great support and gracious hosts. I think everyone enjoyed the art, food, wine and company of family and friends. I even sold two paintings! Very exciting. Here are a few photos. “Spring Into Life” exhibit is on until April 9. (Yes, it’s okay to come in and look around at the art, even when someone is getting their hair done!)

I’m back in Canada after my wonderful trip to Thailand, and I’ve been working on my current art exhibit, “Spring Into Life”. The exhibit features both realistic representations of nature in oil on canvas and intuitive paintings using tempera paint on paper. If you’re in the Vancouver area on March 8, please drop by at Volution Hair Salon for the reception from 2-5 pm!
