Don't miss viewing Ann Donald's exhibit at Calories on Broadway!




Last Saturday I helped Ann Donald hang her lovely floral paintings at Calories Restaurant on Broadway Avenue in Saskatoon.  Not only is this body of work joyful, energetic and colourful, but Ann indicated that these paintings held special meaning to her as she created each one. Each painting is a personal celebration of friendship.  I hope you will get a chance to see and experience Ann's gorgeous paintings!

Old Inspirations that Refuel!

Monoprint         2001
As I searched for works on paper for loop gallery the other day,  I came across this monoprint that I had done quite a few years ago.  I had always intended to do a series of these and it just never happened. It has inspired me however to devote a day each week to play and experiment more with my printing press.
