I was just doing a little editing on my website this morning, and I ended up in Pinterest where I found images to this Cross Connect Magazine.  I love it! Although no one told me they were publishing an article of me and my work. No problem. Only thing is, I was not born in 1950. I don't know where they got that information. They calculated about 21 years too early:)

Christopher and Ronnie

Christopher, 2012, 9x9"

Ronnie, 2021, 10x10"
These two pieces are the same. I used the same photo of Christopher Walken (aka Ronnie), taken by famous photographer Martin Schoeller. The process and time that passed between each piece (Christopher in 2012 and Ronnie in 2021) made them very different from one another.  Even though they look so different, I think they convey two different sides of the same person.  Christopher, as we all know, is super famous mega-actor Tarantino bad-ass.  He looks creepy.  He feels sinister even if he's being goofy. Ronnie, on the other hand, looks more like he did before he was Christopher (even though it's the same photo).  He looks like the musical theatre guy with an edge.  Have you seen his dance in Pennies From Heaven?  That's what I"m talkin about.  He's pretty, but odd.  He's suave with a dark quirk - not necessarily black corners of mystery, more like a little mischief and a whole lotta charm to get you to follow him. I also like the way both pieces show the difference in my work over time.  It's tighter, more confident, more defined. I'm creating more animals and feeling bolder with colours. It'll be exciting to see where I go next.  Stay tuned for upcoming giveaways, entries, and more work with custom frames!

I have been busy this year giving away as much art as possible. I love creating, but keeping it all is just a waste of storage space. Having each piece be enjoyed and displayed by someone who likes it is so worth it.  Here are a couple of photos of my work displayed in friends' homes in Canada and the US. This year will be no different and I already have plans to send some work to some institutions including Justin Bieber to his museum in Stratford, Justrin Trudeau to the House of Commons in Ottawa, and Angela Davis to the Black Panthers in Berkeley, California. Stay tuned!!

The annual Square Foot Show at the Westland Gallery in Wortley Village is still on!  Until August 10th you still have time to see the awesome display of square foot art.  Amazing talent.  The show is always a favorite.  I have two pieces in the show - Martin and Coretta, and Malcolm and Betty.  If you can get there it's worth a look and possibly even a purchase!
