With my midterms behind me, I’m rounding out the last few weeks of my first term back at school and I find myself brimming with new ideas. I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to paint for myself again in the near future. With so much going on, I have been unable to tackle the many images swimming around in my head. (But not before my Christmas commisions, promise!)

So what’s next? I’ve got some pieces in a few shows scattered around the city.

“Celebrations” Artusiasm from November 16-26, two of my large jumper paintings will be on display. Join us at the opening on November 17 from 7-11pm and remind yourself of all the things worth celebrating.

I’m also providing three rounds for Graven Feather’s annual “In the round” exhibition also on from November 16-26th. The opening reception will take place on November 16th between 7-10pm. Rounds (priced at $65) will be purchased directly off the walls, so arrive early for best selection.

And along a similar vein, I have donated two works the charity event “Toronto’s first Anonymous Art Show (year three)” in support of the Art for Cancer Foundation. The three-day exhibition opens on December 1st from 6-9 pm and all works are priced at $100 and are sold off the wall. Work remains anonymous until sold. Once again, arrive early for best selection.

And I leave you with a few pictures from two events I participated in this fall. Both close to home in the  ever growing east end arts community.

Here I am live painting at Leslieville Wanderlust on Sept. 30th. The resulting piece was auctioned off with proceeds benefitting Creative Works Studio.

And pictured below is the opening reception of “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” at the stunning Blue Crow Gallery. A gorgeous group show of smalls by members of the Artist’s Network.
