Wrapping up 2011
The year is drawing to a close and Christmas will be upon us very soon. Shows and classes are winding down but the work goes on. 2011 has proven to be an exciting year. Highlights include being chosen as a Finalist in the International Artist magazine for the 2nd time, (the April/May issue), achieving Signature Status with the Federation of Canadian Artists, chosen for a solo show at the Nyree Hazelton Gallery, organizing an Art show and bringing together 16 artists at Fields and Flower Farm for a stunning summer day in July. I think it was the best weather we had this summer and an exciting show.
Participating in the New Westminster Cultural Crawl was a wonderful experience this year being my 2nd time. It exposes the community to art and local artists, bringing people together making new friends and discoveries.nOur lives are enriched when filled with art.
Another milestone has been the move into a studio to have dedicated time to paint which adds a new section to the newsletter called "What's on the Easel."

Painting on the Edge 2010
Posted on May 26, 2010
August 17 – September 5, 2010
Thursday, August 19, 2010 at Federation Gallery
The name, Painting on the Edge, is partly derived from the physical location of Vancouver, BC Canada on the West Coast edge of North America but also from the challenge issued to the artists to push their artistic limits and create extraordinary and unique images.
Successful entries will combine an original subject or concept, feature excellent composition and skillful use of the chosen medium. They will capture the jury’s interest and excite or move the viewer because they represent the artist’s imagination, involvement and sincerity. This year's recognized jury panel is comprised of three innovative, influential artists in the West Coast scene.
