The SS Master Society now has a new souvenir item for sale. Yes You too can Own Your Own Steamship! The Tin Toy Boats are powered by a candle or olive oil fired flash pan boiler that heats the water to steam that is then expelled out of two tubes at the stern of the boat. This then creates a vacuum, and then the cycle is repeated, with the fresh water being drawn back through the two pipes into the boiler (because of the vacuum), and the heating of the water to a steam jet repeats. They make an excellent gift for Pre-Teens, Fathers and Grandfathers alike! If You would like to purchase one and help the the Society with Our ongoing preservation efforts then click on this link to e-mail us and make arrangements. The boats come in several colours, Dark Green, Red, L-Blue, D-Blue, and Black. Their cost is $20 CDN plus shipping & handling to anywhere in the world! |

"SS MASTER At Sea" Type: Giclee Open Edition Print (unframed) Size: 18.75" x 25.75" - $170 Motoko Motoko was born and raised in Japan, immigrating to Canada in 1992. She is a self taught artist, educated and trained as a dietitian in Japan. Motoko's personal inspiration from the beauty and diversity of nature, the elements of the universe and human emotions are expressed through her use of colour, texture and stylized abstracted art forms. Her goal is to create compelling abstract art which inspires and evokes each viewer's emotions, allowing them to participate in her art creatively and freely. Motoko operates and exhibits her art in her own private gallery in Pender Harbour on the Sunshine Coast. She is also represented by several established art galleries in BC and Japan. Artist's Statement"My artistic journey from representational art to abstract art" One of my first memories was the desire to create art. I couldn't explain it, even to myself. I just knew I had to do it. The beauty and diversity of nature and human emotions are my main subjects. My early work was as a representational artist. My desire to portray the natural beauty which surrounds me often ended in floral art or a local landscape painting. As my understanding of art progressed, I took a deep interest in using colour, shape, line and texture as my tools to express the essence of that beauty. I allow these forms and lines to take their own course, resulting in a truly non-constraining and intuitive expression. My source of inspiration comes from events which I experience, or perhaps a place I have been to, or sometimes someone I meet. It is all a reflection of my personal response towards that which uniquely touches my heart and soul. Some artists express these personal feelings through their writing or poetry. Painting is my personal expression. Over time, I have become increasingly interested in non-representational, non-objective abstract art. As I grow as an artist and as a person, I am more interested in expressing deep human emotions or the energy of nature and the elements of our universe rather than what we actually see in the tangible world. It is the most exciting feeling when I can share my emotions and deepest feelings with others through my art, not with words, but by using colors and forms which represent how I feel. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of art forms. I try to create energy, tension and persuasion but at the same time I try to create harmony within. It is like creating balance of unbalance and that is the challenge that I enjoy the most during the process of completing an abstract piece, knowing that it is always up to each viewer to decide how they perceive my art. I believe art is something that should allow all of us to be truly creative and free. If an artist can evoke a viewer's deep emotion through her art, it is a true privilege. My goal, always, is to be such an artist. |

Framed Print Available for Purchase from the SS Master Society: Approx 12"x12" for $190.00 BIOGRAPHY As a heritage artist, I have a unique style in extreme realism.The art is done in great detail, proportional and with accuracy. My method maximizes color density and smoother blending which increases the clarity. I give as much depth and enhancement as possible to each piece giving a dimensional and a more prominent effect.If the prints are supplied by the artist, they are printed on heavy acid free stock with ink that lasts approximately 85 to 100 years. Usually my work is with museums and heritage societies to support the organizations.It is my pleasure in helping to preserve the heritage by expressing it my art.
