Dean’s involvement with the Flin Flon Creighton area goes back to the first NorVA Retreat in 2011. It was held in Denare Beach, Saskatchewan and brought 33 artists to the village nestled on Amisk Lake. Dean continued the following year to return to Flin Flon as a mentor to five NorVA artists. He offered the community three workshops ranging from design to encaustic.
This year Dean has brought his show Visual Tension to our community for the month of September leading up to Culture Days. It is strikingly beautiful and sure to inspire creative fires across genres. He is the NorVA featured artist. His schedule begins September 25 with a talk at NorVA to open his show and the Square Foot Auction. Friday he will offer two sessions of instruction about Portraits vs Cartooning, Saturday he is available to the public for a talk and Q and A about his show “Visual Tension” and his arts practice. In the evening he will take a lead role in a collaborative art session during Wild Rice at the Channing Auditorium. On Sunday the Pictures at an Exhibition will be held at NorVA and Mark Kolt is sure to address Dean’s work. That evening the first session of the two night Encaustic workshop will be held. Dean’s experience as an educator and administrator has been valuable to the artists here in the north and now his art work is sure to touch even more people through the show that NorVA has sponsored along with generous support from the Northern Neighbourhood Revitalization Corporation.
