ARTIST NOTES

The Art Barn project

Ann-Marie Cheung Ottawa 1989
Ann-Marie Cheung Ottawa 1989

My “big” dream is to buy a country property that has a barn or some other structure and renovate it into an Art Gallery space where I could host classes, workshops and possibly retreats. The main focus for workshops would be on women’s health and wellness, her inner goddess and expressions of art. It would be as sustainable as possible, solar/wind powered with a wood burning stove. Ideally I would build something from the ground up using straw bale construction.

My History

Ann-Marie Cheung (Summer 2010)
Ann-Marie Cheung

Well it has certainly been quite the journey so far!

I’ve always been an artist…graduated from the Ontario College of Art  (now called OCAD University) in 1984 from the general studies program. Traveled across Canada from Toronto to Vancouver where I had my first solo show. I lived there for about a year in a grotty shared warehouse space in Gastown. Yes, I was living the starving artist life for sure, working as a waitress at the Town Pump and Andy’s Diner. I hung out with a lot of musicians, artists and junkies at that time.

More later…
