I have been selected as a participating artist in the 2010 Art Walk. Come drop by at our Gallery at 2415 Clarke Street in Port Moody (City of the Arts). Now in its 11th year this self-guided tour runs Saturday, April 24th and Sunday, April 25th from noon to 5pm both days and is open to everyone.
The best part? It’s FREE!
All the details online on our Facebook event page. Also, our 2010 ArtWalk map is now available, if you want to plan ahead.
Why Attend Artwalk?
Why not! This self-guided tour is a great way to explore the creative talent of local artists. It also gives you a chance to talk to them in an informal and sometimes unusual setting. And don’t forget to keep an eye out for that special piece of art for yourself or someone on your gift list. Remember, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are just around the corner.

About J Peachy
I am a contemporary outsider artist that believes in the healing properties of the natural environment. I paint landscapes in abstract as an expression of my connection with nature and its ability to provide me peaceful inspiration. As organisms on this earth I believe we are interconnected with nature and highly interdependent.
But as the psycho-social environment we live in today gets ever increasingly complex its effects on us are becoming more pervasive, corroding and sophisticated. However the energy, peace and serenity of our natural surroundings can provide a way of grounding our senses and healing our minds. I try to capture the interrelationship between my mind and nature as I see and feel it; it’s an expression of my soul captured on a physical medium and in a point in time. Going through the process in itself contributes to balance.
Driven by my own lived experience, I am a self proclaimed arts-based advocate for mental health and strive to demystify and eliminate stigma around these issues. My initiatives in this regard include being the Vancouver Caucus leader for the Artist Alliance for Mental Health, a collective member (2010) of the artist-run Gallery Gachet in Vancouver and the Producer and Host of Sound Therapy Radio a peer oriented mental wellness show on CJSF 90.1 FM. I have a true belief in human potential and in the statement; ‘art is a means for survival’.
