Spring 2012

...I am so very happy with the product that is the new show (which I created, curated and am a participating artist in) at the Gallery @ the Guild in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island right now. The range of work - from photography to installation, sculpture to paint, textiles to pottery - is astonishing, moving, compelling, powerful. I encourage anyone living or visiting on the Island this spring to stop by the show during its run (March 20-April 14).



My heartfelt thanks to all the artists, and to family, friends and patrons for their ongoing support. I certainly could not do this work without your love and light.
