lines and primary colours, the chairs have a surprisingly energizing effect, making one feel more alive in the space. Dan's custombuilt easel has an intriguing provenance, for it was once owned by "… a portrait artist who painted portraits of our Queen, Winston Churchill, Salvador Dali and many other notable figures." The evolution from purely representational work to more abstract forms has been a liberating one for Dan, who seeks inspiration by playing the cello and writing poetry. Like the paintings, Dan's poetry is layered with meaning, capturing a fleeting mood or feeling in a way that expresses the universality of human experience. Dan's studio is also the hub for two of his dearest projects: Small Modern Living ("improving the quality of life of everyday British Columbians by building healthy, green and affordable housing") and Habiterra, which encompasses sustainable building techniques and materials for communities where basic housing needs are lacking on a global scale. For a wonderful opportunity to view Dan's acrylic paintings and accompanying poetry, Muse Winery at 11195 Chalet Road in North Saanich is featuring an exhibition and sale of his work through to December 31st. Muse is open from Friday to Sunday, 12 to 5 p.m., during the winter months. Don't miss this rare treat!
