Petrina McNeill
Date of interview: February 5th, 2014
Petrina McNeill is a printmaker and arts facilitator originally from England, where she completed her Master’s degree in printmaking at Northhampton University in 2001. Before moving to Canada in 2010, Petrina combined this education with over fifteen years of business administration experience, including six years as
Picture Researcher, where she handled contemporary and historic news images from all over the world.
Upon arriving in Lake Country BC in August 2010, Petrina immediately took an active role at the newly established Lake Country Art Gallery, becoming Gallery Manager in July 2011. Since then Petrina and Curator Katie Brennan have worked side by side to build this emerging gallery into a thriving centre for Arts exhibition, education, events, workshops and community programs. Together with a team of dedicated volunteers, Petrina and Katie have now grown the gallery to include the ArtHouse. Here studio spaces, a workshop area, an art shop and the Okanagan’s only second hand art book store enhance opportunity to support the large number of artists that live and work in the Okanagan, while also engaging the public in the wider concepts of and debates on contemporary art and art making practices.
Petrina speaks briefly about her experience in the arts from childhood to the present. She reflects on her move to Lake Country and its effect on her own art making practices. A printmaker with extensive experience in the photographic arts, she is inspired by the Okanagan Landscape and continues to explore it with her astute artistic eye. Since arriving here her artwork has investigated notions of place and home and how to map one’s self into that new home. Petrina works with a combination of print techniques including monoprint, collagraph, etching, intaglio and relief printing. As an integral member of the Lake Country Art Gallery and informed by her unique perspective as both artist and administrator, Petrina elaborates on her goals and aspirations regarding the development of the gallery and the arts community in Lake Country.

Grand Opening of Elena Bulatova Fine Art
Art Expansion: Backstreet's Elena Bulatova Opens a New Space in Downtown
Written by Richard Almada for CV Independent
Thursday, Nov. 21, was a big day for local artist Elena Bulatova: She celebrated the opening of her second gallery, this one in downtown Palm Springs, with a ribbon-cutting featuring Mayor Steve Pougnet.
The celebration continues from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 13, when Elena Bulatova Fine Art will hold a reception to celebrate the opening.
I first met Elena Bulatova at her Backstreet Art District gallery, at 2652 S. Cherokee Way. I was impressed by her work, her international lifestyle and her world-class education. The first gallery has been a success for Bulatova; she's now in her third season in Palm Springs. Not bad for a relatively new arrival in the desert.
Bulatova credited her parents for exposing her to various art museums during their travels. She honed her skills with seven years in art school; she painted, danced and even played the violin in the chamber orchestra at Moscow State University. She then came to the United States to study economics at Yale.
To be a successful artist, it is not just knowing how to paint, she told me during an email conversation. Running the galleries is separate business that includes managing people, client relations, marketing, social media, contacts with press, accounting, financial planning, etc. Success doesn't come overnight, and many years of studies ... helped me to grow in my career as an artist.
Her art is bright and vivid, often featuring perfect compositions. While she works mostly with primary colors, she also has a series of muted, darker mixed-media works with an iridescent metallic quality. The new Palm Canyon Drive gallery boasts new hand-blown glass pieces, adding a dramatic element to the high ceilings and open space in this unique building across from the Hyatt.
The new gallery will also show carved paintings on panel and bronze sculptures by Delos Van Earl; Larry Weitz's abstract paintings; and screw art by Efraim Mashiah. Starting in January, the gallery will also host monthly exhibitions.
I asked her who was collecting her art.
My paintings can be found in many private collections, locally in California and all over U.S., but we see a lot of international tourists coming from different countries to Palm Springs, she said via email. I shipped paintings to Canada, Mexico, Australia and Europe.
Why did this woman who grew up in Russia choose the desert as the place to make and sell her art? Why not a place like, say, Miami? (In fact, she's taking part in the Red Dot Art Fair in Miami right now, in conjunction with Miami Beach's world-famous Art Basel show.)
I think the desert art scene has a lot of potential, she told me, later adding that Miami has too many distractions compared to the relative serenity of the desert. Palm Springs is very close to Los Angeles, and there are a lot of people visiting. Miami once became a hub for contemporary artists with the coming of Art Basel to the city, which grew in 10 years and attracted numerous satellite fairs and artists to relocate there. We (have) the Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, and its third season is coming. There are already a lot of creative people here—and more coming.
Bulatova said she opened the second gallery because of the growth in the art industry and because of the potential of Palm Springs. She found the new location, took a month to remodel it, and presto: The new gallery came to be.
There is no doubt in my mind that the new gallery will bring much success to Bulatova—and allow more people to experience her wonderful art.
Elena Bulatova Fine Art's new downtown Palm Springs location is located at 232 N. Palm Canyon Drive. The gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with extended hours on Thursdays during Palm Springs VillageFest. An opening reception will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 13. For more information, call 760-600-0417, or visit ElenaBulatovaFineArt.com.

Mary Pratt: This Little Painting
Masterpiece in Focus
04 Apr 2015 - 04 Jan 2016
Gallery C218
Mary Pratt’s 1972 painting Red Currant Jelly has long held a pride of place in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada where it has been on near permanent view for over two decades. Drawing on a selection of works and study materials created at key moments throughout her extraordinary career, this exhibition tells the story behind the oil on Masonite production affectionately referred to by the artist as this little painting. Placed into focus here is Pratt’s early embrace of the camera as an invaluable tool within her long-standing effort to capture in paint all the intimate details of a “world immediately ruled by the world itself.” Her exacting brush brings due contemplative attention to everyday rituals and the themes they invoke: sacrifice, love and familial duty, to the inevitable and ever-fleeting passage of time.

Fortunately, there are places where the price of a home is much more affordable. There are so many beautiful places in Canada, and there are more reasonable options to the pricier areas. Here are the 11 cheapest places to buy a home in Canada, listed in no particular order.
