October 7 Arts Council of Central Okanagan unveiled 3 finalist marquettes at the Kelowna Art Gallery.
"Cheers Okanagan" was declaired the winner. It will be done in bronze and awarded to the recipients on feb 24, 2011.
Some info about my design ........
An artist’s palette, Okanagan sun, wine glass, rolling hills & mountains, lake & streams are the main elements in my design.
The fluted base represents the performing arts as well as the captivating, undulating landscape of the region.
Symbolic rendering of mountains in the centre and water at the base of the design, moving diagonally, stands for the many disciplines of art forms …… surging, mingling and moving forward with ever flowing creativity.
Wine glass represents not only the economy of the region but nature’s bounties in the form of large variety of fruits. The top of the wine glass angled to create harmony in the design. I incorporated the universal symbol for visual arts, artist’s palette, with the mouth of the wine glass. The Okanagan sun, emerging from the opening in the palette energizing life in general and the collective creativity of the region.
