I’m pleased to share that I’ll be participating in 2026, taking place March 26–29 in Toronto.

The fair brings together more than 250 independent artists alongside collectors, curators, and cultural leaders.

What I love about this event is that it assembles all the aspects of the artworld that I care about most: creative practice, community, and the conversations that help the arts industry grow.

Events like this create space not only for discovering new work, but for dialogue and collaboration. It’s an opportunity for artists and audiences to meet directly, exchange ideas, and build relationships that sustain independent artistic practice.

If you plan to attend please swing by booth #711 where I will be situated. See the new series I have been working on this past year.

The event is an excellent opportunity to discover and connect with more than 250 independent artists. This year it takes place in Toronto at the Enercare Centre from March 26–29, 2026. Immerse yourself in an inspiring atmosphere where meaningful conversations with artists unfold and personal connections with art come naturally. Explore thousands of original works, encounter striking large-scale installations, join curator-led art tours, and perhaps find the piece that truly speaks to you.

Come visit me at Booth #711, towards the far left corner of the floorplan from the main entrance!

Friends and art supports, you are all invited to attend a special evening Summer is winding down, as is my residency. Meanwhile, new exhibits have been installed at Gladstone House this month.

To celebrate, an open studio and exhibit openings have been scheduled to showcase the new shows plus the resident artists.

This will be an opportunity for friends, family, colleagues and members of the public to explore the hotel, check out the public space exhibitions and visit the Art Studio.

Please join us on Thursday, September 25th between 6:00-8:00pm, all ages are welcome. There will be a cash bar, and if there is sufficient interest, Curator Lee Petrie will conduct mini tours to show art in some of the guest rooms. 

You won’t want to miss it!

New Residency Announcement:
I am excited to share that I started a studio residency on July 21st. From now until September 30th I will be calling a corner of the 3-person studio home for all things art production!

I have started a new body of work, beginning with the usual blind contour base drawing (executed in acrylic paint via squeeze bottle). I am also experimenting with mixed media, including ribbon and textile appliqués on velvet, to be completed with acrylic paint techniques. This is all in anticipation of a future exhibition. On that, I will keep you posted!

If anyone is interested in swinging by and saying ‘hi’ please do. Just give me a head’s up beforehand. I am going to be there a couple of weeknights a week and 1 - 1 1/2 days on the weekend, if I can.

Fun times ahead!
