It’s countdown to show opening! So excited to return to after almost 10 years. Time flies and it’s so easy to get caught up in the ebb and flow of life. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful that I’ve found my way back to sharing my work with my peers at this fantastic show!

I want to thank my wonderful friends and family who have supported me along the way, especially the following:

as my installation lead
for all printed matter
for promotional production assistance

I couldn’t have made it this far without you!

Come find me at booth #711. This is my home between now and end of day Sunday.

Materials of the trade and words to live by.

I was lucky to catch the end of a lovely little portrait art exhibition nearby over the weekend, The National Portrait Gallery of Canada of Bloorcourt. The Gallery Directors filled a gaping hole in the national cultural scene where a portrait gallery should be. Their concept garnered great press, and piqued my curiosity with the inclusion of animal portraits. So happy to see works by and included! The positive community vibes made my week and I will be certain to return. Art on, .1065 !

STUDIO DAY

What better excuse to get back into gear in the studio with a new year upon us than a grey, wintery Sunday?

This new piece is one of two new smaller works I am creating to complement the larger work created during the artist residency, all of which began/begin as blind contour drawing with acrylic paint on black velvet/velveteen, with decorative ribbon appliqués and more paint. I am hoping to have these completed in short order, but no promises (to myself).

Happy art making to all the creative cats out there!

I have always loved James Sutherland’s mosaic mural at but it could use a little TLC,
