Second Place Award

for my pastel 

"A Carpenter's Tools"

 I am thrilled to announce that I have received Second Place in the 

31st Annual Purely Pastel Exhibition and Competition 

hosted by Pastel Artists of Canada!

My father, like his own father, was a carpenter by trade. Dad carried my grandfather's old plane and scribe with him in his suitcase when he emigrated to Canada from Ireland back in 1956. The plane’s wood is smooth from the touch of his and his father's hand as they worked their craft.  It is nicked and worn and a very special reminder of my father and the art of carpentry that he practiced. 

 I am thrilled to announce that I have won an Honourable Mention Award for

"A Twist in the Night" 

in the 9th Annual 

Members Pastel Artists.Ca
