A Little Art Boutique at 807 Corydon Ave presents Winnipeg artist Tree Tree Tes’s new art series “The Starchild Series Part II” from Aug 12 – September 4.
Artist Statement:
Meanwhile, What I Want to Say Is…
The debut launch of The Starchild Series II
This exhibition marks the beginning of The Starchild Series II, a new chapter where each Starchild carries not only a face but a voice.
Alongside selected paintings, I’ve written short poems as quiet offerings to the viewer. These characters are no longer simply whimsical companions. They become wishes, reminders and gentle conversations.
A Time to Grow holds a sage with a candle upon its head, symbolizing the healing and guidance we seek. The green peony, the king of flowers, speaks of quiet strength, renewal and the courage to flourish in our own time.
Meanwhile, What I Want to Say Is… is an invitation to pause, read and perhaps discover the words you didn’t know you needed to hear.
A graduate of the School of Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Tree Tree has exhibited internationally and participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Her work has also been featured in an international art book. She is a mentor with MAWA (Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art) in 2026, supporting emerging Canadian artists through mentorship, and provides one-on-one guidance to artists across various disciplines.
Her practice is shaped by personal experiences, cultural transitions, and a fascination with nature, memory, and human relationships. With a playful yet thoughtful approach, she invites viewers to reconnect with curiosity, wonder, and their inner child.
