Summertime

" Skies the Limit" group show at the Artscape Wychwood Barns last June 22nd blew the roof with rockin' friends coming out to support the art!  I am very proud of my Sweet Art Studio workshop artists who helped make the show such a success!  Thank you to all who came and brought the house down!!!

I am very honoured to have won Second Best Painting in the Mixed Media category, at the Oshawa Art Juried show, held at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.  Out of 200 entries, 85 paintings and 4 sulptures where selected for the show.  This year was also the first time to include a 'Youth Category' to the awards.  I am glad this category was put in place and congratulations go to Betty McGowan who ran the show with so much organization and grace! http://www.mcgowanart.com/
