Inspired by the west coast winter rain and clouds, I spent some more time on the "Shoreline" series - paintings on canvas with acrylics. With a few upcoming shows in the new year, I have been busy putting together collections that reflect the landscape that surrounds me.

"Shoreline" will be on display at The Gallery Cafe, Cedar Hill Recreation Centre from January 11th to February 6th, 2011. Here are a few pictures of what will be in the January show:

I have been working on a little illustration project in support of the Canadian Cancer Society with a fabulous Author, Kate Noble. Now that the book is finished and available to the public, I thought I would share a few pics of the process!

The book is available through all Scotia Bank locations on the island, Hemp & Co., and Country Grocer. Contributions support the internationally acclaimed and accredited summer recreation program, Camp Goodtimes. The camp provides a unique summer experience for children and teens with cancer.

Discovery Coffee House - Solo Show

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Just a quick update:

My solo show "Tidepools" is up at Discovery Coffee House (1964 Oak Bay Avenue) so everyone should come have a mocha (the best in town!) and check it out!

It will be up for the next couple of months (April/ May 2010) and work is for sale at reasonable prices. I believe in making affordable art that is accessable to everyone.

Special thanks to Kathleen at Discovery Coffee for helping put this little shin-dig on!
