“HANDS”
Chris Hodge was initially an abstract painter influenced by the simple yet deep texture of his prairie surroundings. More recently, he has been investigating figure work and portraits as an extension of the abstractions. The pieces in Hands could be considered semi-abstract as the shapes and colours are not natural but designed to elicit emotions in the observer.
Our hands are the vehicle by which we engage the world around us. Whether creating, caressing, destroying or other activities, our hands are an integral part of the process...
Colour and simplicity are my main concerns when painting and I like to use layers of paint, hopefully leaving a deep impression on the viewer. ” – Chris Hodge, Artist.
Hodge’s exhibit will be on display at the Spare Room Gallery through September and October 2024. Select items are for sale. Inquire with the Artist.

The Parade Float
A GROUP EFFORT
It began with the question: “Will we have a float this year?” When the answer became ‘yes’, the conversation moved to the details i.e. the theme, the presentation, the music and the candy. Then, we needed a volunteer(s) to build the World’s Second Largest Tomahawk. We needed painters and sign-makers and candy hucksters, and a trailer and a tow vehicle, and decorations. And, then, people stepped up and we found everyone and everything we needed – and it was great fun!
The Museum sincerely thanks Albert Loranger of Rockhaven for towing the float; Lisa Drake for acting as kid wrangler; Ella and Hunter Drake, Jaikob Keys, Ryan King, Elizabeth and Victoria Larson, Lillian and Aurora Pentland for the candy distribution; and Mel Lumley and Randy Strelioff for the music. Randy and Angela Garon built, painted and decorated the tipi and tomahawk.
Truly a group effort that is very much appreciated. A few photos…

Time: Is An Illusion | All We Have: Is Now
Dana Standinghorn is a Cree artist from Sweetgrass First Nation, Saskatchewan. She has been creating artwork for the past 30 years. Her work can be understood as abstract because it expresses her interpretation of the world around her.
While I paint, I let everything unravel onto the canvas without question. I let the color of paint and paintbrushes take me where it wants to. Every painting is a feeling, thought, idea, memory or a vision… The paintings are abstract so everyone is going to see something different, and that is what I love the most about my art.
