Shy Weeks

Visual Art – Calgary

Original water colours, up-cycled art, and whimsical collaborations Shy [Ashley] Weeks is a Calgary-born, self taught artist who works in a variety of styles and mediums. Her art is often characterised by bold, vibrant colours, and images that blur fantasy with realism. Many of the works on display are heavily influenced by, or collaborations with her eight-year-old son, Cameron Ribi. Featured in this show are the “Reclaiming the Landscape” and “Brought to Life” series. Cameron is a budding artist who enjoys drawing comic strips, creating dioramas, and building elaborate structures from up cycled materials. This creative young mind is currently in Grade 3, but has been doing art since he was old enough to smear paint over a canvas, without also trying to eat it. Cam also enjoys biking, battling Pokémon, and reading books (especially stories about dragons).
