NEWSLETTER On September Ist, Connie Glover will give a slide presentation of her recent public art

projects in relief ceramic tile and mosaic tile at the Surrey Art Gallery at 7:30. Her

first public art endeavor, completed in Richmond in 1999, was a West Coast seascape of
approximately 350 sq. ft. of relief ceramic tile on a three-storey elevator shaft. Since
then, she has completed several other projects, including three community public art
projects. This fall she will be collaborating with Vallalee Hoffman in a community pub-
lic art project in Newton, sponsored by the City of Surrey. This project will involve the
fabrication of a glass and tile mosaic piece for each of the following facilities: Newton
Wave Pool, Arena, Seniors’ Centre and Youth Centre. If you would like to participate
in free workshops to create mosaic pieces for these facilities, come out to the slide talk

to learn more about the project and to register.

Connie has worked in clay for over thirty years, producing decorative and functional
ware in addition to her public art projects. She
was born in Kamloops, B.C., and studied art at
Douglas College in Surrey and at Laguna Beach
School of Art in California. She has completed
two residencies at the Banff Centre and one in
Japan three years ago. She has travelled exten-
sively in Asia and South America. Connie has
lived in Surrey for the past twenty years and
has taught adults and children in her studio
and at the White Rock Arts Council. Visit her
