Some Works
from 2016
What am I up to?
I moved to Montreal in June of last year. It was quite a change from the solitude of the farm, but is also stimulating and active. We have moved into a very nice apartment where I am able to display my paintings well, and have a exciting new studio to create in. If you would like to stop by and see what I am up to, I would love to show you.
The move to Montreal opened new opportunities to exhibit. I have had 2 solo exhibitions so far this year, and participated in groups shows, and exhibited my paintings to viewers along Ste. Catherine Street as part of "Un Quartier en Art".
In January I started my mural projects in the schools and finished the last school in Montreal in May. Working from Montreal made travelling easier, especially since most schools were in or near Montreal, but I did murals in Gatineau, Cowansville and Waterloo, Quebec. See This Year's Murals at the bottom of this page or all of my murals on my Mural Homepage.
I was pleased to be selected to be part of the celebrations in June of the "Hommage to Dallaire" at the Montcalm Gallery in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hull painter Jean Dallaire, where I will be painted live.
