Maelstrom

It has been too long since my last posting. I am not spending as much time as I would like in the studio. This latest piece took a long time to complete! The canvas is 36 by 48 so it is my largest piece yet...

A Feather in Your Cap

Hi friends, here's my latest creation, inspired by the fall season...I've playfully called it "A Feather in Your Cap"...hope you like it! Next up: tackling a very large canvas...wish me luck!

Here is a new painting called "A Puzzled Look"

My paintings at Laurier House National Historic Site in Ottawa

I was very honoured this summer to be selected  as a guest artist by Parks Canada to display both my ceramic work and paintings at Laurier House National Historic Site in Ottawa.

The restored historic house and museum was the place of residence of two of Canada’s most notable Prime Ministers, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Rt. Hon. William Mackenzie King, and is open to the public for guided visits. For four weeks, a selection of my ceramic work was on display in the gift shop area, while some of my paintings made a fascinating contrast with the more formal portraiture hanging on the museum walls!

Eye of the Beholder

No matter how much you know or how much experience you have potting, there are always a few gems that rise above the rest. This one certainly does for me. Enjoy! Voici une des mes créations qui est d'une beauté qui me touche. J'espère que vous l'aimerez.

New Ceramics pieces coming up.

I have been busy both painting and potting. The kiln is colling down as I write this. I wait in anticipation for the new batch that will come out of this work. Just like Christmas, I hope for nice surprises. In the meantime, I have completed 2 canvases you will find below. Enjoy!

L'Arche is holding a craft sale November 6th

I am proud this year to be part of L'Arche second annual craft fair to be held Saturday November 6th at St. Richards church located at 11 Rossland just off of Merivale Road. This charity has been close to my heart ever since I went and listen to a talk given by Jean Vanier here in Ottawa a few years ago. Come and help me make this a sucessful event for this worthy organisation.
