I am thrilled to be invited back to the gorgeous Inn at Laurel Point (downtown inner harbor) to showcase my work.  The paintings will be displayed for the month of April in the large lobby through the reception area.  It is wonderful to see the blossoms emerge and the sunshine return to Victoria.  Happy spring everyone.  www.annebowen.ca

I am offering a 15% discount on all paintings and woven wearable art for the month of December and January.  There is a desperate need for homes and funding for dogs at the moment and all proceeds of sales will be split between a local dog rescue and Second Chance Dog Rescue.  Rufino pictured below is a Mexican rescue fortunately finding a home here in Victoria.  Paintings and weavings can be viewed at www.annebowen.ca

Fall is my favorite time of year, a time to regroup, reflect and experiment with new ideas and inspirations.  I am offering 15% off all artwork from now until the end of December to make way for new paintings.  This is a perfect time to give the gift of artwork to yourself or your loved ones.  Postal rates $20.00 - $65.00 anywhere in Canada.  Paintings can be viewed at www.annebowen.ca 

Now for a something a little different.  As most of my painting are still down at the Coast Hotel, I will be displaying my woven wearable art and explaining the process of taking the raw fibre from the spinning process to the weaving.  I will have a good selection of jackets, wraps, infinity scarves and shrugs available, just in time for the cooler weather.  "Slow Fashion" of sustainable clothing is something I am excited about and I am enjoying exploring all the wonderful possibilities. 

Sharing the garden with me will be a fantastic potter and a marvelous jeweller.  We are at  3735 Ascot Drive, north end of the Cedar Hill Golf course.  Tour runs 11 - 4 on August 28 and 29.  Lots of parking at King's Pond. www.annewbowen.ca
