Join us between 6-9pm to view Susan’s latest collection and meet the artist. Wine bar & snacks.
Artist Statement: “A to B” explores similar tensions between the landscapes we occupy and the histories impeded in them. These tensions are alluded to through text, numbers, colours and lines. The journey from “A to B” is never a simple trajectory even though it may appear so on the surface.
Susan Patterson is a Vancouver-based artist. She studied painting In Vancouver and Cardiff, Wales and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr Institute of Fine Art and Design in 1996. She has participated in numerous group shows in British Columbia and Ontario. Her work is in collections in Canada and the United States. My main area of interest is abstract painting. My paintings are informed by the patterns that exist in the various constructions that we exist in. I am fascinated by random patterns that cityscapes create especially in the industrial parts of East Vancouver. I frequently use found wood and carve, draw and layer the surfaces. I love to re-contextualize both urban and rural spaces using a vivid colour palate. I use free-form patterns of lines or circles to create a unique visual language that allows for multiple interpretations. I am continually observing and documenting the world around me. My inspiration can be generated by almost anything.

Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius Wounded Healer Kiron We are reminded by this moon to enjoy the sweetness and pleasure of what we have been growing in our gardens. Pink luminescent moon reminds your divine selves to fully charge the vessel with the solar yang energies. We are now ready to pursue our goals, dreams, and tune into what weeds need to be plucked out of our gardens, even to find the seeds that haven’t made their way through dark matter to reach the light.
This moon also brings awareness to our health and wellness, which Sagittarius will heighten, so we can dive deeper into what is serving and what we can release, which will transition into the new moon.
This transit of June’s 17th full moon, will be amplified 3 days prior and 3 days after. Together let’s soak in fullness and heal the wound within four fields. Yoga Nidra invites us to explore the deeper layers of our inner worlds. Allowing delta & theta brain waves to reenable the old existing patterns of nervous system back to rest & digest (parasympathetic system) where we rewire the neuron pathways of the brain and fundamentally align our body to a higher clearing vibration — where unlimited healing can occur.

The iPhone is the single most popular camera on Flickr and many other image sharing sites for good reason. But are you getting the most out of your iPhone shots? Do you know all the ins and outs of shooting on the iPhone? Are you able to edit and upload your image in only a minute or so? Do you know what the best apps are for taking and editing pictures? Take this class to find out!
At Starting Point Photography, that’s our mission. We want to help you learn the tips, tricks, and techniques to create better photographs on your iPhone.
Want to know a secret? Creating great photographs isn’t about the camera. It’s about your knowledge and desire. We’ll explain, in plain English, what you need to do so the next photograph you take is better than the last one. We’ll help you learn how to think about taking a photograph before you even point your iPhone and how to edit the image afterward to bring out the best in what you shot.
The classes in Gibsons will be on Saturday, June 22 (starting at 9am) and Sunday, June 23, starting at 10am at the kube. The class will take approximately two and a half hours. We’ll teach you some of the ideas, theories, and techniques professional photographers know and use in every one of their images. With that knowledge, we promise your iPhone photographs will get better!
This is a fun, informative and entertaining two and a half hour seminar for beginners and novices who want to learn how to take better iPhone photographs.
The class will include:
“iPhoneography Secrets Revealed!” – do you know the single most important element of every good photo?
“Creative vs Technical” – Learn how to take advantage of all aspects of iPhoneography
“App Differences” – what are the pros and cons of using the native iPhone app vs other free and paid ones?
And much more!
All classes are run by a professional photographer and a “Professional Explainer” for beginners and novices who want to learn how to take better photographs.
Past participants have said:
“Shawn was a great presenter. He was very informed and entertaining as well.”
“I enjoyed that it wasn’t too technical.”
“Inspired me to start taking more pictures and playing around with my settings…and reading my manual.”
“Friendly and engaging instructor! Very visual!”
If you have any questions about either class, please don’t hesitate to contact me at shawn@StartingPointPhotography.com
Tickets: $99 cash at the door but “Early Birds” can purchase them for only $75. If you sign up with a friend, tickets are two for only $125 – a savings of $25! You can purchase tickets on Eventbrite or contact me directly for other payment options. More info here.
I hope you can join us and I look forward to seeing you!
