A Clematis Trio at the Federation Gallery BLOOM 2023

March 21, 2023

At the Federation Gallery, Spring has finally arrived. What better way to celebrate than with an exhibition highlighting the buds and blossoms that are popping up all around us! You will find exquisite paintings, drawings and collages. Beautiful floral artworks are paired with breathtaking living floral installations created by the Vancouver Branch of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana.

A portrait trio of double white Arctic Queen Clematis float on a simple cool background. Is it Ice? Is it a Cold Sky? Is it Snow? Not likely as the flowers are at their best in July in Toronto. Their subtle absence of flashy colour, as translucent layers of off white petals create a complex physical structure, provide an annual challenge. Especially as a simple composition.

Summer Pleasures

June 26, 2022

Growing up in Brackenrig close to Port Carling, now as a guest on Little Lake Joe I’ve always explored the shore in my kayak or rowboat to get up close and personal with the meeting of water and granite.

My Summer Pleasures ; “Six Inch Tsunami”, “A Rosseau Rowboat” and “Sister Island, Lake Joseph”. were on display from June 28, 2022 to August 4, 2022 visit the Etobicoke Art Gallery at the Etobicoke Civic Center
