ArtStarts Explores: Hidden Colours with Everyday Tools

I created a little workshop video for Artstarts’ Explores series titled: Exploring Hidden Colours with Everyday Tools. Starting with the question “what if I have no art supplies?,” we will look for hidden colours that surrounds us in everyday life. With respects to the land and what it provides us, scraps and small samples will be harvested to explore, play, and make marks using household objects.

ArtStarts Explores is a digital series for creative and adventurous families. These workshops explore creativity through hands-on investigations and a wide variety of materials and artistic mediums. We invite families to experiment together through observing, touching, drawing, moving, assembling and listening to ignite creative learning.

I am so honoured to collaborate with Laura Barron from Instrument of Change to do a series of "pop-up" art booth in the City of Vancouver this summer. Through story, poetry, drawing and painting, the public is invited to express gratitude towards their local community assets. Each creative work will be documented on a digital map and spread throughout the city in a surprise installation.

This project is supported by the Neighbourhood Matching Fund of the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation as well as Instrument of Change. For more information, please visit:

It has been such a joy to illustrate the new Storywalk for the Donald Walkway in downtown Port Coquitlam.

“The Storywalk will feature the winning story from the 2020 Flash Fiction contest, a collaboration between the Terry Fox Library and the City of Port Coquitlam during May Days 2020.
Port Coquitlam resident Jade Wong’s winning story, titled The Seed of Happiness, is illustrated by Wen Wen Lu, the City’s 2020 Lions Park Artist in Residence.”
​
For more information, please visit: www.portcoquitlam.ca/donald-storywalk which includes the online and audio version of the story. We also made the Tricity News! To view the article, please visit: www.tricitynews.com

Looking forward to sharing the final installation of the project in late Spring 2021.
