Blog and Current Events

Good Morning everyone,

I am so excited to tell you about something very interesting that is happening in the end of March and throughout the month of April..A kick off to spring...

I am delighted to be showing a Solo Exhibition of new work at the Ailsa Craig Arts centre in Ailsa Craig On. From Saturday March 26th-Saturday April 23rd.

The Exhibition is named A NEW PERSPECTIVE and that it is!

In my latest paintings I try to capture emotion and meaning, they express happiness and new life. As I take in uplifting scenery during such a stressful and divided time, I hope to portray a new beginning and a new perspective!                                                                                                                        
I am busy finishing up the last details on my paintings now and look forward to exhibiting them in the near future!

I will be hosting design talks during my stay at the ACAC e as well. 

Below is a description of what to expect to learn at this interactive and fun design talk. If you are interested, please send me a text 519-870-6519 and I'll have more details and dates for you.

“A NEW PERSPECTIVE”

Ailsa Craig Art Center Solo Exhibition

Saturday March 26-April 23

I am looking forward to having some fun and interactive teaching sessions during my stay at the ACAC. 

I will be teaching my passion, composition and design.  

This lively talk will include all aspects of the principles and elements of design which are used to create a successful painting. 

Not only for artists,  I will also show you how to apply these design elements to your home interior design, quilting, landscape and flower gardens, as well how to achieve a great looking co-ordinated outfit to wear!

Through various examples, I will help you to understand what makes a good design work. Whether it’s observing a painting or choosing a home interior colour scheme, I will demystify the process. Consider this your roadmap to success!

Open to all ages, this Design talk is approximately 4 hours long with lots of time for observations and question and answers. We’ll also have some time for discussions and a break.

This class is designed for anyone who wishes to learn more about the creative process and to understand and implement these exciting new ideas.

Bring a drink, some snacks, a camera, and a note pad.

The cost is $20.00 per person with $5.00 from each participant going back to support the ACAC.

In preparation for this class, check out the design attributes feature on my website accompanying each painting. You’ll get a  “head’s up”  of my design process!

If you’re excited to learn more about increasing your creativity, this class is for you!
