Sleuth, the bear hangs along with the other AFCA awards winners until Dec. 22, 2018.

Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island hosts my flag paintings.

The 8th annual Mid Main Art Fair was a wonderfully successful art event. Myself and Elisabeth Sommerville were it's coordinators for this years event. Quality art at a Vancouver historic venue.
