A Heads Up

Heads up, save the date, February 28, 5 pm. Centre culturel de l'Université de Sherbrooke.

Ceci n'est pas une exposition / This is not an exhibition

Last week was so busy and I forgot to post about this non exhibition. For the month of February, Galerie Art Plus has an impromptu exhibition: «Ceci n'est pas une exposition». A little wink to forget the winter cold. It's a group show with John Murphy, Brigite Normandin, Richard Surette, Susan Surette et moi. and runs until the 23rd. The gallery is at 8, rue Maple, Sutton and is open from 1 -5 pm, Thursday to Sunday. Take a winter break and come out to see it! Additional information is on the poster at the bottom.

Day One, Installing The Show at Galerie Art Plus

We are at the exciting part, the plans have been drawn, mock-ups made and adjusted, and now the physical part of actually hanging the show can start. The glorious space is empty, silent and waiting and so the fun starts. For this exhibition there are 4 grids of framed works interspersed with medium and large sized works on paper. So we started with the grid figuring they would be the most time consuming. And thanks to Brigite they went up like a dream.

The Voice of the Line

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to see my latest work gathered together under the title "The Voice of The Line". It's especially exciting for me as this will be the inaugural exhibition at Sutton's newest gallery, formally the United Church, and now Galerie Art Plus. The vernissage / opening is Friday, July 4, 5 - 7 pm and the show will run until July 24th. Please note that during The Tour des Arts the gallery will be open every day from 1 -5 pm. And I've updated my web site with all the work that will be shown. Whew!

Happy Birthday Darling

I can get away with this because I know he is still asleep, and I felt it was only fair as I showed you photos of Zoe, our wonder dog. So here is my darling standing in front of one of his paintings.  I photoshopped them together; his paintings are not quite this large. He has been painting madly for the past year, getting ready for an exhibition this September, in Toronto, at Odon Wagner Contemporary Art. Shameless self-promotion, but if you would like to see more of his work click here. The splash page is a slide show that you need to click on the white dots to go forward and backwards. I need to update his site and will, as soon as the last painting is photographed. Enjoy.
