"The Future Is Coming Everyday" - Elizabeth Zvonar @elizabeth.zvonar
Hi folks, it's Tangiene @thmartinohara and this is my possible future.
1) draw, in colour, my experience driving through Gros Morne in the beginning of the pandemic
2) draw, in colour, these babies Lou and Theo (photo credit @lisamayesartist ) and learn how to write about it. When I'm drawing portraits, is this considered anthropological art making? I have to learn this stuff. I want to continue drawing portraits and I need to research how to explain/write about it
3) paint wild and unusual creatures in a forest/landscape setting. Acrylic or oil depending on allergies. And make it BIG (creature photos photographers unknown)
4) honest to god I'm going to apply for a research grant on how to be funny with my dog
Wish me luck on my amazing future!!

With the most heartfelt thanks to @easternedgegallery for this opportunity to grow and share my work with others. Thank you thank you thank you

Tonight will be my last night posting stories

Hi, it's Tangiene again. This is the present!
I completed my drawing that I was working on during my FARR residency. It's titled "Anna's Survival Joy" and it relates to feeling isolated when the panic restrictions began and when the bubbles opened up. Anna is a friend and a poet residing in St John's, NL. Please go to her website www.annaswanson.ca to find links for her poems. She also has a book out called The Nights Also.
Here are images of the completed crayon on paper 30" x 20" project as well as some studies and close ups.
We also had a maker's night on zoom that was fun. Eastern Edge will have a link to view it soon.
I also hope you're enjoying the stories. I've completed the nepotism portion of promotion. I will still post artists I'm into and then Newfoundland art and artists that I'm discovering. 🎷🐩

Hi! I'm Tangiene, the current artist in residence

Hi! I'm Tangiene, the current artist in residence for Eastern Edge and my IG takeover begins today. A little about myself in a non-academic explanation: I love people, I love friends, if I've met you and we've talked a bit I'm probably in love with you and want to draw your picture. I eagerly await photos posted on social media and if the photo's composition, colour, energy and subject matter captivate me, I want to draw it. I resided in Vancouver for 15 years, graduating from ECIAD, and moved to Newfoundland in 2019.
My takeover week includes 3 postings of my art work. I'm choosing Past, Present and Future. Today I'm posting past artwork of close friends.
My stories will be of creative friends from BC, then creative people I'm learning about or follow, then lastly I'm posting Newfoundland artists that are new to me.
Plus I will sneak in video of me trying to be funny with my dog.
It's a lot of information - enjoy!
