Events, EXHIBITIONS and NEWS

Join me at the opening reception on Saturday November 1st between 4:30pm-7pm as we celebrate Canada’s forests.

I have created 9 new pieces of art for this exhibition for The Donna Child Fine Art Gallery. Come see how I have expressed forests as not merely gatherings of trees, but living presences that hold the quiet wisdom of the earth, offering sanctuary and inviting us to pause, listen, and see with more than our eyes.
