The end of the month came fast! "Mood" is wrapping up today and I am absolutely thrilled with the entire situation! Thank you to everyone who attended the reception earlier this month or went to see the show during its three week run. Today is the last day, so if you are in Regina, please stop in otherwise you can view the exhibition here. Thank you to Jeremy and his amazing superstar team at the gallery. Thank you to all of the amazing people who purchased my work... ten paintings found their homes and I may have a couple of commissions on the horizon!

This post highlights some of the work that is still available... you just may be in the mood to celebrate Canada Day with an awesome piece of original art featuring a Canadian landscape!

It is still hard for me to believe how the last ten months have unfolded. There have been some downs with the ups, but that is life and I choose to focus on the positive. I will continue to work hard, build on my skills and support others who are trying to feel their way through their own artistic journey. And I will continue to be sincerely grateful to those who help me and lift me up along my way. If you have been watching this blog at any point in the nine years since I started it, you know the road I have been traveling; the constant push to learn, grow and find my voice through paint. And, recently, you have been witnessing some of my dreams coming true.

The cool thing is - this is a never-ending journey and there are more things in the works! One I will tell you about tomorrow and the others, well, you will just have to keep checking in!

Thank you!

Canola + flax + dramatic sky = Saskatchewan!

I SO love this one! For my solo show "Mood" at Assiniboia Gallery in Regina, June 7-30.

In exactly two weeks I will be driving down to Regina for the opening reception of  "Mood"! I really am so terribly excited. I will be at the gallery from 5-8 p.m., so if you are in or near Regina I would love it if you would come to help me celebrate this big milestone in my career. A year ago I hadn't even met Jeremy or any of the amazing people at the gallery, and now look!

Well, actually that isn't quite true. Two years ago in September of 2016 I attended the first ever Art Now Saskatchewan Art Fair at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon. It was a wonderful exhibition of professional galleries (belonging to Sask Galleries) showcasing their artists in beautiful "booths". Of all of the booths, one gallery stood out to me, Assiniboia Gallery from Regina. They appeared so professional, yet accessible, they had a great range of artists and artwork and everything was framed! I remember very clearly chatting with the lovely woman who was working when I passed through- she was delightful and she had the cutest haircut! And now I know her! Jen is awesome and I am thrilled she represents my work alongside Jeremy (gallery owner) and Tammi (gallery manager).

Over the next two weeks a good portion of the twenty-four paintings I delivered will be framed by Moranda and Ben, so when I next see the paintings they will be all dressed up for the party! And I still have one more huge piece to deliver when it is done and dry, so I appreciate them accommodating its later arrival.

I would love it you would help me spread the word - I will have an invitation to share soon! Thank you!
