A BIT ABOUT MY VIRTUAL WORLDS
Outlook8 an interactive gallery space on Malt Island in Second Life.Malt island is created by Malt Design in Paris France.
About Outlook8
I created Outlook8 gallery space because I was searching new ways of expression in a 2 and 3d form . I wanted to include motion and viewer participation. It was also the perfect way for me to connect with my daughter who lives on the other side of the world from me.
The whole space is the actual artwork not just the images on the walls. The avatar Genivieve Caproni is the 3d moving piece. As a visitor, you can interact with my pieces through conversation, movement, play and dance.
Genivieve can sell you art, talk about anything, just ask her. She can also take you shopping for fashion, a new hairstyle, funky furniture, or a take a stroll in the park go for a boat ride and so much more…..check it out at

Every artist has their own way of preparing before creating. In this blog entry I would like to share with you what I do, before creating a site specific artwork.
A BIT ABOUT MY CREATIVE PROCESS
Capturing the wholeness of a space is most important for me.
For creating the work, or idea, I need to physically spend a lot of time in the space where I will be creating the work. Not only, do I need to consider the site visually, I also have to feel it, hear, the silence, the noise, touch the textures, and take in the aroma of the surrounding layers of the environment . This helps me to capture the realness and essence of the space.
All random ideas and thoughts are recorded. This may take the form of written notes, quick drawings, paintings, photos, taken at different times of the day and night. I may also use video and sound.
Sometimes my response is so strong, I will have a basic idea working around in my head before I get back to the studio. I then work out how Im going to take my idea into reality. Working with the creative process allows me to be more spontaneous in my approach to the making of the work. The materials I use can be randomly chosen as I go along or, I will purposely choose a material that will express my ideas.
How do you kick- start your creativity?

When I first started painting, the thought of stretching my own canvas was frightening, but after a few attempts of stretching a canvas it came to me automatically. I was able to make canvases for half the price of store bought ones. Also, stretching your own canvas can trigger off the beginning of the creation through the hands on process of doing it yourself. Hope this helps.
How to Stretch a Canvas Materials and equipment
Pre- made stretcher frame
Canvas material cut 10cm approx larger than your stretcher frame
Canvas staple gun
How to Stretch a Canvas
First of all lay your canvas on a flat surface wrong side up then lay your stretcher right side down on top of canvas. Pull the sides of your canvas up and round to the top of your stretcher.
DIAGRAM 1 Secure the 4 points with staples or tacks to create a diamond shaped wrinkle in the canvas. Check diagonals and adjust the stretcher for squareness before going further. 
DIAGRAM 2- Secure the canvas to the stretcher with staples approx. every 6 cm. around the edge, working from the center points outwards. Pulling the canvas as you go. Continue working out to the corners in this pattern. 
DIAGRAM 3-Do not overstretch the canvas. When applying tension, the canvas pliers should not be forced to pull the canvas in place. The tension of course will become greater as you work towards the corners. 
FOLD- the corners under; leaving no exposed tab that maybe caught and damaged. Staple or tack excess canvas that wraps around to the back of the frame. HINT- Once finished and your canvas and is not as tight as you would like, fill a small spray bottle with luke-warm water and spray the canvas on the back. Once dry your canvas will be as tight as a drum. Happy painting!

Welcome
Lately Ive been spending time developing art that’s affordable so everyone can enjoy it. Usually my artworks cost$100’s and $1000’s in the galleries, so I understand not everyone can afford to buy a piece at those prices . So I created a new series of abstract paintings for you at much lower prices

ABOUT INTERCHANGEABLE ART
One advantage of interchangeable art is found in its very name. Interchangeable art is well suited for people who frequently change the décor of their homes or who may want to move a piece between rooms.

Each painting is one of a kind and would give a stylish accent to any room
Each painting will sit on its own as one piece or many could be massed together

1 acrylic painting mounted on card I will send from what you see in the photo to slip into your frame when you want to change the look
