Current Shows

I am excited to be a part of two group shows.  The first is at the Penticton Art Gallery entitled "Small Wonder: Under $300 Exhibition & Sale", which runs from November 5th to December 24th.  The second show, "George & Friends" is held at the Leir House and I was honoured to be invited by George Traicheff to show with a diverse group of fellow local artsits.

My Favorite Season is Here!

Fall is by far my time to thrive. The colors, the crisp air, the food, coffee, painting. I am about to embark on some super cool projects. One is a commission for an amzing couple, Karyn and Matt. The other (so far) is teaching my painting course at the Shatford Centre--the group I have registered is exciting in itself. Can't wait to see what October will bring! Also I am delivering Vienna's butterfly, so stoked to see how it pops in her funky room.

August Shows

I have three venues showing my work through the month of August: Streaming Cafe in Kelowna www.streamingcafe.net, the Bench Market in Penticton www.thebenchmarket.com, and Perseus Winery also in Penticton www.perseuswinery.com

All places offer either sweet live music, amazing coffee, delicious eats or fabulous wines. Lots to enjoy!

Live Painting Show with Ari Neufeld

The amazing Ari Neufeld, a fellow Penticton artist and friend, asked me to join him in his performance at the Streaming Cafe in Kelowna, B.C. to celebrate the release of his CD/DVD, "Live at the Dream Cafe". Clips of the show can be viewed currently online at www.streamingcafe.net

Being my second ever live portrait (the first was last year at Ari's show at the Dream Cafe) I was extremely nervous leading into it as portraits are such an intimate experience for me, but what's life without putting yourself outside your comfort zone? Big thanks to my husband Charlie and one of my closest friends on the planet, Deanne for allowing calm to take over as I started painting what is my favorite portrait to date.

Spring Painting Classes at the Shatford

I am offering my class "Free the Artist in You--Abstract Acrylics" for the first time ever at the Shatford Centre, the new hub of creativity for Penticton. There are limited spots available, so don't hesitate to register online at http://www.osarts.com/ Details can be found on the website under course # SP-7007

If these dates don't work for you, this course will be offered again at another time, as well as my course "Empower the Artist in You--Directed Studies in Acylics". Details for this class are also on the OSA website. Stay tuned for dates!
