Visual Arts. Mike Binzer

At a young age Mike began studying ballet and contemporary dance, which encouraged his keen interest in—and developed a unique insight on—the human body that has continued to guide his creative endeavors. He completed his training at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, and continued on to dance professionally with the company for a number of years. After leaving the performing arts, Mike turned his attention to the visual arts, receiving his BFA with distinction in painting from the Alberta College of Art & Design (ACAD). Mike later completed his MFA at the University of Regina where his research was focused on painting the human body as it is experienced, rather than merely visually perceived. He has been honored with numerous awards, including the Painting Major Award of Excellence from ACAD, and the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship from The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Mike has participated in a variety of solo and group exhibitions, and has also taught painting and drawing, most recently encaustic painting at the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Center in Regina, SK. Mike currently lives and works in Victoria, BC

Hi all!
Am pleased to present to you a new issue of our magazine. However, as the last issue, this one is also came late. 
There is two reasons for it.
First one, is that some authors periodically make changes. And we, as you know are trying to please the authors … But I think it was in the last time that we making changes in issue that already laid out.
The second reason is that the ongoing technical problems isn’t solved yet. You all know that this project is not commercial, so we do not have the financial ability to completely fix the technical problems. So, we would welcome any donations to help us update some basic components.
In addition we want to thank everyone who wrote to us, authors and readers. Your letters are necessary to us. 
We thank those who post links to our magazine in its online resources. 
We thank the authors who send their works.
I hope that this number will only positive emotions.
Thank you all.
With the best wishes

Photo. Amy Victoria Wakefield








“Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love..

My name is Amy Victoria Ann Wakefield and I am nothing less than a photographer. I am a graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Design in Photography.

I grew up in a town far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city in which i currently dwell. As I learn to slow down and connect with my beginnings I am amazed at the images I am able to create for others.

I wear silver bangles brought back from places visited throughout my life. My wrists will be heavily laden with memories of my transition from youth to maturity in the years to come. For each milestone, I receive an antique camera. I own eleven, and anxiously await the beautiful moments ahead. I write postcards to my grandfather. I collect antiquities and rarities. I smile for overcast skies and delicate winds. I revel in creating gauzy foggy photographs, and have a love for the unsettling stark nature of a long forgotten building or room. I am content knowing that my life’s work is also my passion.

sincerely
amy victoria”
