Until April 2013: Seafood for Thought

This year long exhibit at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in Steveston BC explores contemporary issues related to fishing, seafood and the state of our oceans. The exhibit is a combination of educational material and thought-provoking artwork. It features a rotating selection of my ocean paintings. More details here.

November 24: Strathcona Winter Craft Fair

10 am – 5 pm; Strathcona Community Centre at 601 Keefer St, Vancouver Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood is an amazing community of artists, musicians and progressive thinkers combined within a multi-generational mix of First Nations, Chinese, Portugese, Italian, Japanese, Ukrainian and Russian families. It’s also the oldest neighbourhood in the city, part of the poorest postal code in the country, and one of the richest places I’ve ever lived. This small craft fair is an expression of our community; I’d love to see you there.
