Art in Public Places

Lakeridge Dental Centre, Oshawa

Over the years, I have always participated in displaying my paintings in public places.  Partnerships with establishments such as restaurants, cafes, salons, spas, bistros and various enterprises has allowed me to reach a wider audience.  I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for providing me with a very unique gallery space!!! 





Ajax Council Town Hall



For the month of January 2012, 20 of my original paintings will be on display at the Ajax Town Council Chambers.  These are collections from 2009-2011.  Likewise, I am displaying 4 paintings for sale at Stuttering John's Bistro for the month of January.  This new resturant has just opened its doors last December 2011.  More information about Stuttering John's in my next blog!

Spa Sedona



I worked on providing proper Feng Shui placement to Spa Sedona at the Pickering Village in Ajax.  It was transformed from a mere shell, to a relaxing and rejuvenating spa, consistently voted as Best Spa in Durham since it was lauched in 2005.  Book your next appointment with them to get your spirit restored!

Last but not least, my beautiful friend Michelle has consistently supported my work by displaying my paintings at her hair salon on Bond Street, Oshawa.  My-Ty Hair Design provides hair care design to suit your lifestyle.  You can call for an appointment at 905.718.6349.





Happy New Year!!!

It is the New Year and with it comes new goals to pursue and the hope that accompanies every beginning!   I will have a solo show and display of paintings at the Ajax City Town Hall, on Harwood Avenue South, Ajax, displaying a collection of 20 paintings from the last 3 years.  Hope you can come visit, http://www.townofajax.com/Page2089.aspx.  Show runs from January 5-February 2, 2012.

Tadah, 2012 brings a brand new solo show which will mark a milestone in my life., as I approach my 50th year!  For those of you who know when my birthday will be, just relax as the show will not be ready by then!!!  (That would freak me out!)  I am targeting the middle of this year for the opening and negotiations are underway as to where the venue will be!  I am very excited about this show as it will be very personal to me.

My art classes are reving up to run by mid January.  You can google schedules at the Currys Art Store in Whitby, The Pickering Recreation Centre, Visual Arts Clarington and at The Painted Tree. 

Sweet Art Studio nights every Thursdays will start January 19th.  This studio is limited to 6 participants so register as soon as possible.  You do not want to miss out!

Wish you all a joyful, productive and creative year ahead!
