Dear friends,

I have been painting away in my studio. My work is getting bigger! These days I am painting canvas tacked directly onto the wall and custom stretching it afterwards. This way I can create many custom shapes and sizes for my beloved clients. Here’s a bit of info. about my Summer shows.

Starting In Dundas, Ontario at the beautiful Carnegie Gallery, I will be having a solo show titled “Chosen Paths”. I have been creating a body of work for this exhibition all about brain pathways and daily choices. These works are largely the landscape as the subject and as I was creating them, I was thinking about a deeper message of walking through our days and the routes in life we chose. I hope that you will take time out to visit me at the opening reception on July 5. There will be light refreshments and I would love to connect with you!

In July I will have some 12″ x 12″ paintings at Westland Gallery for their famous Square Foot Show. It’s a really fun event in Wortley Village, London, Ontario. Stop by the show to buy some affordable art and grab a meal at one of the many lovely restaurants on Wortley Road.

Some of you know that my family and I decided to move up north in the Fall. We are in Owen Sound now and we love it! This will be my first time having a show in my new town. If you are a local or up in the Bruce Peninsula in August, I hope you will come to see my show at the Artist’s Co-op in downtown Owen Sound!

I have been invited to show my work on a beautiful Muskoka Island in Point Au Baril, Ojibway Island this summer. It is my first time and I am looking forward to all the inspiration in that area, just north of Parry Sound. This show was started by Suzie Stohn and Ruth McCuaig in 1963.

Please feel free to call or email me about commissions or purchases. I am often traveling to the GTA to bring art to galleries and clients and would love to get in touch!

I have been working away in my studio on new paintings from my Joy Series in preparation for a group show at Westland Gallery in London, Ontario, Nov 27^th – Dec 22^{nd, 2018}. This show is going to be gearing up for the holidays so my work will focus on Fall and Winter themed paintings. I have realized during this process that I adore painting snow! I can see so many colour shifts and reflections in the snow from pink to purple, teal, aquas and whites. I hope that you will be able to go to Westland Gallery for this winter exhibition. It truly is a beautiful art gallery in such a nice part of London, Ontario. Wortley Village is a destination in itself with the gallery and cafes, restaurants and beautiful century homes dotting the street.

I will be showing a selection of small to medium sized paintings at the new gorgeous Mixed Media & King W. Books store in Westdale for the entire month of October, 2018. Do go to Dave Kuruc’s store. It is a beautiful addition to Westdale. You can certainly find many a lovely thing there.

I also have the privilege of being added as an artist to Hamilton’s modernfolk.ca! Allison of Modern Folk is a lovely woman who is bringing together a beautiful selection of art shipped across Canada. Modern Folk carries a selection of my landscapes and cityscapes. Do take a gander. You will not be disappointed!

I will also have some small works in Julia Veenstra’s Square Foot Show in December so mark that on your calendars!! December 12 to 15, 2018.

As always, I am having studio tours, private tours and completing commissions. So please do drop me a line if you would like to purchase a unique painting for your home. Original art can totally transform a space. It not only warms a room up but it adds personality and charm. I am ever grateful for your support as I continue my path as an artist. It is the less traveled road but it is worth it!

Keep in touch!
