News and Up Coming Shows

In May Po had a solo show, "Waves Up", at Redeye Studio Gallery featuring her new encaustic paintings and some new sculptures. The rugged shorelines of the East Coast of Newfoundland is the inspiration of this new body of work.

"Nature is the inspiration for my work. My time living in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland allows me to appreciate the force and beauty of the sea. The breaking and shifting of waves serves as a metaphor for vulnerability and impermance. In some of my pieces ("Remembering 1-4") one can find fragments of old fishing stages collaged into the work. This is my attempt to preserve a sense of the history of the place which existed as a fishing community and what life once was for the people of this land surrounded by water."
