The Colour of Light bij SheHtetj Hamwn Rae The Seymour Art Gallery presents The Colour of Light, a defining title for the work of Jeremy Dane Morris and Sande Brinson. SAG Director Jacquie Morgan explains, "Both [artists] work with colour and light. Jeremy uses light to accentuate colour and to play with shapes in his glasswork while Sande's use of light and colour create an ethereal, almost spiritual presence to her work." Jeremy Dane Morris's "love affair with glass" goes Jeremy Dane Morris Sande Brinson drawing ® Jeremy Dane Morris back over twenty-five years. The first twenty of those, he spent working in stained glass, exhibiting work at galleries such as the Wells Gallery in Ottawa, where he was a featured artist from 1983 to 1991. In 2001, after studying with master glassworker Melanie Rowe, Jeremy acquired a kiln and began specializing in fused and slumped glass (a procedure in which glass heated in a kiln conforms to the shape of a mold). Morris was born in Sri Lanka to British parents and grew up in Southern Ontario. He attended Guelph University, where he studied English Literature and Fine Art, majoring in printmaking. He moved to Vancouver in 1996 where he opened his own glass-fusing studio in 2003. He continues to experiment with and refine his techniques, adding Jeremy Dane Morris Jeremy Dane Morris WHO: Jeremy Dane Morris and Sande Brinson WHAT: The Colour of Light WHERE: Seymour Art Gallery 4 3 6 0 Gallant Ave., N.Van.

Over fourteen years she built up a portfolio, achieved an FA degree from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and is now perusing an MFA at San Francisco Art Institute. Brinson's first exhibition was the Seymour Art Gallery's, 'disCOVEry 2005 Show' where she won the Best Emerging Artist Award'. Jeremy Dane Morris She describes art now as her "lifestyle" and admits to filling every bit of wall space in her Deep Cove home with her drawings and paintings. When describing her work she says "I play with the concept of ambiguity" and she "intuitively creates imaginative and sensual work of an ethereal nature." Brinson's paintings are oil on canvas where she enhances the atmospheric effect in her work by applying layers of rich colour, which "act as a vehicle for mood, emotion and to convey the transcendental and sublime". She also works with Yupo, a fibre free, synthetic paper that allows her hand to "glide fluently over the surface with graphite, eraser, oil stick and oil paint, creating organic marks." Sande Brinson says her work "focuses on process and the exploration of what takes form through layering of materials and gestural mark making."
