Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
Join Carolyn Botelho as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Second Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season will be released soon!

Erica Hawkes Episode #4: Caught In A Moment
Exposed to both American and Canadian landscapes has enriched Erica Hawkes' creative practice in unique ways. Following the flowing hills and rugged coastlines of the west coast has inspired her to create masterful compositions that have combined two distinct styles into one perspective.
Being able to blend and merge the techniques of the Group of Sevens' impressionistic style and the dynamic energies and colours found in the early modernist ideals of Art Nouveau. Erica creates a sense of magic with her Artwork. Explore these new perspectives that she transcribes to us with a sense of painterly inquiry that highlights and moves us into a new way of seeing our Canadian countryside.
Hawkes has the ability to give us a new way of portraying our Canadian landscapes in a truly original way. This is refreshing and exciting; providing Canada with a new vision of our previously delightful Group of Sevenesque style, transformed into a new fusion of our glorious country in an original way. Truly magnificent.
