UPDATES:

Happy New Year!

I’m ringing in 2018 with a few changes!

BLOG: I am changing up the purpose of the BLOG. I started the blog a year ago, but, as it turns out, regular blogging does not suit me. However, since I am often asked about the background information on my paintings, I think the blog could be a useful tool to give viewers that insight. So going forward I intend to use it primarily for that purpose, as well as keeping up with current news from the studio.

CLASSES: Discontinued as of January 1st, 2018. Endings are sad, but they clear the way for new beginnings. To that end: art classes, art parties and Artist on a Mission programs will no longer be offered. Thank-you to all of the marvellous people I have shared my love of art with! I hope you will all stay in touch.

FRESH ART:

Check out the Western Art Gallery for the latest!
