ISLAND PROJECT: I have enjoyed some great hikes on Rose Island over the last year or two, exploring the terrain and letting the ideas percolate for my upcoming Rose Island Specimen Project. The resulting body of work inspired by the distinctive nature reserve on the island is now coming together. Many thanks to the Georgian Bay Land Trust and its King Family Bursary for their support of this project. A preview of these works will be exhibited at Trestle Brewery in Parry Sound, ON in May of 2024. The larger collection of works will then be exhibited at Quest Art Gallery in Midland ON from June 21 to August 17 2024. All welcome at the opening reception on June 21st from 7-9pm. More information about the project HERE.

ARCTIC RESIDENCY: In October of 2023, I travelled to Longyearbyen Norway for a sailing adventure and artist residency in the Arctic. I had a remarkable two weeks exploring this part of the world with an amazing group of international artists. Thanks to The Arctic Circle organization for including me in this incredible adventure. More information HERE. I will be exhibiting a new body of work inspired by this trip in the fall of 2024. Stay tuned!
