Maintaining the S.S. Master takes countless Thousands of Dollars, and just as much in Volunteer Hours and Efforts. Recent Re-planking of the Starboard & Port side cost over $120,000 CDN. Much still has to be done, like the Stern re-planking, and tending to the deck around the steam winches. If You could support Our efforts to maintain this sole remaining Important Steam Engined Heritage Tugboat of Canada's Proud Marine Industry, by purchasing a souvenir hat, picture, or by donating any sum of money, or volunteering Your skills We would be most gratefull. |

"SS MASTER at Sea" Type: Giclee Open Edition Print (unframed) Size: 18.75" x 25.75" - $170 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. 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. |
