A Painted Garage Door Mural for Your Home?
This summer I completed this mural on my garage door. There has been such a great response to the project that I may open up bookings for garage door murals for next summer. Prices for this type of work would likely start around $2500 for projects in the Calgary area, but I would only have a few slots available between late spring and early fall, weather dependant. If you are interested in something like this let me know.
Medium of Exchange Process - Virtual Exhibition:
Covid-19’s silver lining to staging shows in venues closed to the public? The necessity to develop virtual exhibitions: Visit the new gallery page to see the rest of the paintings in this project. Follow the links to the virtual exhibition and closing reception recording, which are still available to view online.

I invite you to learn more about this project documenting the experiences of individual women (including yours truly) living through the Covid-19 pandemic. Produced by Dawn van de Shoot and photographed by Shannon Smith, this collaborative story telling project has created some truly memorable images and I was honoured to participate.
