Our recent exhibitions in Montreal were a huge success. The work featured in our exhibitions Frontier and Patient/Attente really shone in the spaces of Art Mur, a gallery that is considered Montreal’s premier contemporary art gallery. The exhibitions drew in many visitors including several museum curators, José Niaison from the Canada Council for the Arts and several art collectors purchased our pieces. The opening was a fun event packed with international glass conference participants, family and friends. After all the work that went in preparing for the exhibits we felt proud of the work we created, thrilled at how amazing it looked in the gallery spaces and happy to share that moment with our friends and family.

This spring Tyler and Julia are each presenting solo exhibitions featured at Art Mur, Montreal’s largest contemporary art gallery, from May 1 - June 19th as part of the city of Montreal’s designated,”Year of Glass”and the Glass Art Association of Canada’s conference.
Tyler’s solo exhibition titled, “Frontier” combines sculpture and new media with glasswork, to create pieces that describe a location and that engage the fertile ground between the divergent perceptions of history. In this particular exhibition, Tyler alludes to a small bluff of trees below Minichinis Hill in Saskatchewan. It was here that Almighty Voice took his last stand on June 19th, 1897, a final act of what some call the last insurgent uprising of the Riel Rebellion.
In this most recent body of work featured in her exhibition titled, “Patient/Attente”, Julia endeavors to show the contrast of human desires to control nature through machines and the indomitable and patient force of nature to reclaim and heal itself. She uses glass and mixed media to examine the transformation of our landscape, the tension inherent in this relationship and the beauty that exists despite it.
