I am delighted to report that I have been juried into the 2021 Sooke Fine Arts Show, which will be held on-line this year during the period July 23 to August 2.  See https://sookefinearts.com for more information.  A preview will be available on-line (cost $25) at 7 pm PDT, Thursday July 22 for those who wish to be able to make a purchase as soon as the sale opens.  The Sooke Fine Arts Show is widely regarded as the premiere art exhibition on Vancouver Island and attracts buyers from the lower mainland and U.S. Pacific Northwest.  Art lovers will thoroughly enjoy a visit to the website this year.  Look for my work entitled “Come Fly With Me:  A Tribute to Amanda Gorman’s Reading of Her Poem ‘The Hill We Climb'” at the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C.

In addition, I shall be exhibiting at Filberg Park on Sunday, July 18 and Saturday, August 21, 2021 as part of the “Live at Filberg Park” summer weekends series.  Each Saturday four artists will have a “pop-up” exhibition and a different four artists will exhibit on Sunday.  Each artist is allotted two exhibition dates during the period  July 4/5 to August 28/29.  The hours are 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  In addition, other attractions at the park will likely be open on those dates.  The artisans booths will be located on the oceanside front lawns of the park.

With the loosening of provincial health restrictions concerning Covid-19, I hope to have a lawn and garden art exhibition at my home later this summer.  Until then, please visit my home page for postings of new works.  Thank you for your continuing interest in my work.

Finally, I have thirteen paintings on exhibit and available for purchase at Tigh-Na-Mara Resort and Spa in Parksville, BC.   These include some works never previously exhibited.  Paintings and photographs from other artists bring the total on display throughout the main building (main floor and downstairs) at Tigh-Na-Mara to around sixty — well worth a visit.
