Current & Upcoming Exhibits and Art News

A selection of my still-life pastel paintings is on exhibit at:

Village Studios, 

Stratford, ON.

With a contemporary look at a time-honoured art form, I bring the items in my work to life for the viewer to experience. 

 Using the pastel medium I explore the beauty of still life in soft whites, fresh colours, and lovely light to reflect on the flavours and simple pleasures of life.
