I’ll be at the Beacon Original Art Sale this Sunday from 10-4 with a selection of my Cravings paintings available to purchase. And guess what, if you are worried about framing, don’t be, All of my paintings are framed, wired and ready to hang!

To keep it all Covid-19 safe we will be participating in the province’s vaccination exemption program, so don’t forget to bring your mask and vaccine proof or recent negative Covid-19 test, along with your Christmas nice list. See you soon!

Hi all! So in July I let you all know in a blog post that not all of the Covid Chronicles products being offered on pre-sale would be on offer after the pre-sale. The pre-sale might have been the only opportunity to purchase some items. So following from that, a few items (greeting and post cards, some of the print images) offered then will not be offered for sale again in the near future.

Kudos to you if you did manage to scoop an item not currently on offer, and thank you all for your support of art and artists!

However, I am happy to say that the Portfolios, Zines and Books did go to production and are currently available for order, as well as the remaining originals (299 CAD each + shipping) from the sketchbook project, and a selection of limited edition prints (69 CAD each + shipping) of the sold original drawings. All are available through my website. Click here to make a purchase! Sales are made through PayPal, but you do not need a PayPal account to make a purchase.

I realize that Covid-19 Has taken over the world, and certainly my practice of the last few months with the Covid Chronicles and the related attention that that has brought to my studio. However, earlier this year I blogged about discovering a new /growing fascination in my work when I realized I had been painting a lot of food for the past few years. So I decided to make it formal and introduce a new gallery section to my website. Cravings will showcase all of my food related paintings, wherever they might fit in to my other themes and bodies of work. Check it out, watch it grow, & shoot me an email and let me know what you think!

So Covid-19 #9 has been included in a virtual exhibition, the Covid-19 Artwork Showcase, presented in conjunction with Fortune Live Media’s Health Brainstorm Virtual Event which opens tomorrow and runs for three days. I think it sounds pretty cool to be part of an exhibition of international artwork & artists put on by a major media force like Fortune Magazine’s live media branch.

In addition to this event, I’ve also been invited to contribute work to virtual exhibitions and archives including the Women’s Art Museum of Canada, the Immortal Artist’s Pandemic Archive Project, a residency project organized by artist Pamela Moon, Life As We Know It: 2 Meters Apart, and to various institutions actively soliciting archive material documenting the pandemic.

The question is, without the personal interaction of hanging the work in a physical space and interacting with viewers at an opening event, do these virtual exhibitions have the same impact for you as an artist or as a viewer? The reach they can have is far greater than a physical exhibition, and I have had people across the globe reach out to me, but is the impact of the encounter as potent when we cannot be physically present?

I will be curious to see what sort of long term response comes out of these virtual exhibitions.
