Shape and Form Exhibition Federation Gallery in Vancouver
I have a sculpture, “UN-Supportive” being shown in the Federation Gallery in Vancouver (Granville Island) from August 30 to September 12, 2021.
“Indulge in the beauty of exploring shape and form. Let your eyes wander around the surface of these works, taking in all of their shapely details. Think thick and thin lines, negative and positive space, lustrous curves, and sharp edges. Using a variety of media, our artists showcase their abstract pieces that use the language of shape, and their representational works that convey their reverence for form.”

Hello All,
It seems the with the current Alberta lock down the Common Ground Community Cafe has been closed. I will still be exhibiting there, but the exhibit will be likely some time in February. I will keep you updated as to the new date.
The folks at Night of Artists are still planning to go ahead with their exhibit March 19-21, so stay posted for more info about this event too.
As always, stay safe and healthy.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
This year has been a weird one for the record books. I hope as this year ends with the holiday season that you are healthy, safe and able to connect with those you love (in some way - even virtual). I hope 2021 is a year of healing, recovery, and re-openings.
Exhibitions, competitions, galleries are planning to reopen live and virtually. I will be announcing events as they become confirmed - hopefully including the Night of Artists St. Albert show in March.
Being an artist for me means working from my home studio in a solitary way, and being an introvert this suites me most days. My biggest challenges this year was not being able to show my work in person with so many cancelled events, getting materials, and missing out on education opportunities. I realize for so many others their work life, family life, finances and health have been impacted and it has made me even more thankful for what I have. Good bye to 2020 and Hello 2021 :) Thank you to my clients, friends and family.
