I was very happy to be invited as an Artist in Residence to the cosmopolitan Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver for the weekend of October 28 and 29, 2011. During that time, in the lobby of the hotel, I did a demonstration of a small still life painting. Hotel staff and the Howe Street Gallery worked together and arranged to hang a show of my recent work which was displayed in the exquisite lobby of the hotel for the next two weeks.

The Federation of Canadian Artists annual Board of Governors’ meeting and signature jury took place on March 6, 2011. The jury process involved numerous applicants’ works reviewed by the Board of Governors’ jury of Senior Signature members. Out of the many applicants from across Canada the jury elected three Senior Signature status members, and eleven Associate Signature status members. Tanya received her Senior designation of SFCA Signature status with the highest number of votes received out of both categories of applicants this year. Publication of this election was made in the May/June 2011 Issue of Art Avenue magazine.
