Every year, Alberta Printmakers’ holds an exhibition and exchange where artists submit ten prints and receive eight random ones from the exchange in return. I created the print below for the event. Its an 8″ x 10″ silkscreen called “Weight of Movement”.

I am pleased to have one of my recent etchings included in the 2014 Southern Printmaking Biennale, juried by Ericka Walker (an amazing Canadian lithographer based on the East Coast). The show runs from November 10 to December 12th at the Bob Owens Gallery at the University of North Georgia.

In just one week I’ll be showing and selling my work at Handmade Here in Calgary. I’m one of 25 local artists who will be selling a range of work including ceramics, paintings, jewellery, textiles and of course, prints. I’ll have cards, bookmarks, scarves as well as a range of prints from the last few years. Come by November 15 & 16 at the Triwood Community Centre. 10-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.

I’m in a group show called Open Print that opens on Wednesday, October 1st at the Salisbury Arts Centre in the UK. One of my new etchings will be on display and fellow Calgarian Eveline Kolijn is also one of the selected artists.
Happy to be part of BIMPE VIII! The exhibition opened in early September and will tour to several galleries in BC and Alberta including Federation Gallery, Dundarave Print Workshop, UBC Okanagan, and SNAP.
About a year ago, I was invited by Guy Langevin to participate in a print exhibition that would take place in Taiwan. 25 Canadian artists were to exhibit our works in Taiwan and 25 Taiwanese artists were to exhibit their work here (well, in Quebec). Guy invited three artists from the exhibition (myself, Deborah Chapman, and Mylene Gervais) and a representative from Trois Rivieres (Marie-Eve Berube) to accompany him to the opening in August. It was a whirlwind three days in Taiwan and we were welcomed by the generous and extremely friendly Taiwanese artists. The exhibition would serve as a way for artists in each country to show their works and to build relationships between artists and institutions beyond the exhibition. A catalogue of all of the works in both exhibitions is available.
I have works in the Second International Printmaking Triennial in Belgrade, Serbia. The exhibition opened on September 4th.
I’m honoured to have my work available for sale at The Print Center in Philadelphia. If you are a fan of print and are in Philadelphia, you should definitely drop by and check out their current exhibitions and gallery shop. But if you are far away and are still interested in purchasing one of my prints, head on over to their website to pick one up (and peruse the many other wonderful works on the site).
I’m currently en route to Asia where I’ll be attending the opening of Printed in Canada – an exhibition curated by Guy Langevin and featuring the works of 25 Canadian printmakers. Prior to heading off on my trip, I completed a new etching as part of my new series The Body Stranger. More to come about Taiwan after the opening! (sorry the colour is a bit off in the photo)
I’ve recently created several tiny prints (largest dimension is no larger than 3″ on these prints) related to my new series The Body, Stranger. Its been helpful to create these small, quick prints as a way to work through my ideas.
