I will be updating my 2010 gallery after my exhibition in September at Anne Beliveau’s gallery ~ Studio Connexion in Nakusp. All my new work will be on show there so please come and visit the exhibition if you are in the area. I’ll post details of the Opening and Show dates on this News page.

I’ve just moved into a new studio, actually its the upstairs space above a ceramic studio just down the road, being built by my friends Keith and Jane. Keith is a potter and has built this amazing new space, and has only some finishing left to do on the building before setting up the kiln and beginning his new creations. My studio is the perfect space, light and airy, and unfinished, so I don’t have to worry about making a mess, though I’ve covered the floor and all surfaces with plastic just in case. I will post new paintings on this blog as they appear. Right now there is a back-up because my computer died and had to go to the Mac hospital in Nelson, where it had to undergo an internal, then revived. But I promise to get the new paintings up online soon.

Thankyou to all who came to visit my show in Halcyon Hot Springs and Nakusp. It was a wonderful experience for me to meet everyone who visited the exhibit even by chance. Thankyou to all my local Nakusp friends, artists and musicians who supported me and to those of you who brought food and flowers and most importantly your own bright energy. It was a fantastic two weeks. I will keep the site updated with my new paintings and anyone who wants to comment, please leave a message on this site.

Poster of the upcoming exhibit

This exhibition opens on April 10th 2010 at Halcyon Hot Springs Spa and is the first time I have exhibited my paintings since moving to Canada in 2008.
