Salmon Come Home

Salmon Come Home has been celebrated on Sunday, October 21, from 11am to 3pm, and I have been so glad to present  the huge Salmon's sculpture for the event.

The City of Coquitlam together with the Hoy/Scott Watershed Society have presented Salmon Come Home, the free, annual, environmental stewardship themed family event celebrating the return of the salmon to our local watershed.  This was the 20th year for the event!

Highlights included Fisheries and Oceans Canada with live salmon demos, Vancity with a children's fishing hole, the Pinetree Me to We Club with face painting and battery recycling (bring all your batteries from home). Also many fishy crafts and activities in which I was helping, and, the most wonderful thing was that all the people were looking and talking about the huge fish I did. I was so happy!

About Me

Patricia
I have been creating artwork since I was a child old enough to hold a pencil, and I also love to write. My artwork has evolved over the years reflecting who I am and what I want to say, especially since the time when, I moved to Canada in 2005. Inspired by the spiritual, metaphysical and subconscious human mind, I use a range of media. A favorite of mine are soft pastels on Ingres,acrylics, in paintings. I am really happy when I am making engravings. In Canada I lived in Winnipeg, during 2005 for almost one year, in which time I did some engravings and Art courses when I was a member of Martha Studio Art Gallery. When I moved to Calgary, 2006 - 2007 I participated to 3rd Annual Unseen Art at ArtPoint Gallery and Studios. I have been a volunteer as an Art Teacher and Spanish Teacher at Queen Elizabeth High School. In Argentina, I participated in many Art Exhibitions and received many special Mentions.
