Solo Show at TOSH in Qualicum Beach
“What Would Hockney Do”

Come and Enjoy the View!

This summer I took a deep dive into the work and world of David Hockney to find inspiration and further my artistic journey.

I’ve created paintings that were direct responses to Hockney’s work and also took side trips to paint things that moved me at the time, always asking myself “What would Hockney do?”.

The show is now up at The Old School House in Qualicum Beach from January 13 to March 7, 2026.

If you’d like to visit the exhibit with me, just reply to this email.
Or come to the opening reception Friday February 6th, 4-6pm.

Designs By Dana Wagner ~ Steampunk Design Collection

Says Dana of the six steampunk centerpieces she created for the 2025 DeCosmos Christmas luncheon: “I did create the works independently and love the creative free expression found with the Steampunk sculpture designs adding in elements of past, present and future!”

The before, during and after photos really illustrate the wow effect of the collection and design features of an art in creative process.

Dana created all 6 designs in one sitting! Yes, all in one go, from 12 midnight to 3 am in the morning, moving from each design with a structural vision adding an element of fresh and white florals as an element of snow and greens for the elements of Christmas.

The centerpieces were auctioned off at the luncheon as a fundraiser; the feathers were particularly flying over Dana’s birdhouse steampunk design; bidding was fast and furious for that one!

Joanne Ayley is exhibiting at the Beach Club Resort in Parksville throughout October. Drop by the lobby area to see her work. Or visit her website at www.joannealeyart.com to see more.
