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!
