Arts 2009 - Featured Artist - Chris Paul Chris Paul     Salish Artist Chris Paul is a Coast Salish artist who is gaining international acclaim for his limited edition giclee prints, cedar panels, and glass sculptures. Born near Victoria, British Columbia in 1969 as a member of Tsartlip nation, Chris was immersed in Coast Salish art as a child. Before the age of thirty, Chris had completed one year of intensive training at 'Ksan, the Gitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Art, and had completed a two year apprenticeship under celebrated Tsimshian artist, Roy Henry Vickers. In 2007, Chris completed a major commission for the Sidney Pier Hotel and Spa. This project resulted in the creation of three large scale etched glass panels for the lobby of the hotel, as well as smaller panels placed in each of the hotel's 55 rooms. Chris has also gained exposure through the hit television series Grey's Anatomy, in which a number of his prints have been featured. Chris' pieces often reflect flora, fauna and mythologies associated with his culture and his home on Vancouver Island. Phone: (250) 544-0224 Website: www.chrispaul.ca

Land Art Display by Victoria Flower Arrangers' Guild A contemporary Ecological Floral Art/Design medium where larger floral art structures/sculptures form a harmonius relationship between the natural and found materials used and their positioning in an outdoor setting. Freedom of expression plays a part in Land Art manifestations, where Floral Art/design was taken from inside settings to outdoor natural settings. Basically we use anything and everything, driftwood, dried materials, fresh materials, wire, metal etc. as long as the elements and principles of floral art/design are adhered to. Emphasis is usually given to collective work because of the scale of the designs but some smaller solo works can be included.

Land Art is simply Floral Art/Design done on a larger scale in an harmonius outdoor setting of which Glendale Gardens fit the bill perfectly.

European floral artists and various other countries have produced Land Art Shows but the Victoria Flower Arrangers' Guild is the only Floral Art Association that has accomplished this east of Toronto. A first for B.C.
