For the past few years I have been working in hospitals in Montreal. I wish I could tell you all about my work but most of it happens confidentially and quietly. I enter spaces of grief and try to help through pure presence. In a recent podcast conversation, I discussed some of this work and how it relates to my creative practices.

On the podcast, This is Your Strange and Beautiful Life, I spoke of the gift of art, that having time to make paintings and music is a wonderful privilege and that I have been very lucky. This is also true! Thanks to those who support me and my work and for opportunities to show up in the world as my best self.

Many thanks to Chantal L’Heureux for the interview (en Français!) on Magazine In Situ yesterday at Radio Centre-ville. You can hear the broadcast online. I am the second artist on the show, starting at 29:25.

We discussed the recent event, Solstice Eve at BBAM! gallery, where I presented work created as part of my theology MA thesis exploration of painting as a reflection on spiritual care. The transcription of that event is now available as well as images of the temporary installation that was shared and discussed during a very special gathering on the longest night of the year.

We also talked about my art practice more generally as it relates to the ongoing exhibition N I G H T G A R D E N. This solo show of paintings runs until the end of January and selected works are available through Artsy.

BBAM! Gallery is located at 808 Atwater and is open 12:30-6pm Tuesday-Sunday.

VERNISSAGE: November 25, 2023 FINISSAGE: February 2, 2024

These images of “the altars to the directions” were taken at the Belgo building before the paintings were shipped to the private collector who commissioned the project. The paintings were completed from 2016-2019, starting and ending on the winter solstice. Each of the four paintings is aligned with the cardinal points and the seasons, mimicking sacred places around the world that are oriented on our shared global experiences of time and space. They were painted using acrylic on panel with oil glazing and measure 6’x12′ (side panels 3’x6′, middle panel 6’x6′). This is a dream come true of painting highly detailed intricate lines while working at a large scale and I am forever grateful for the chance to explore my craft in this way.

Many thanks to BBAM! gallery for including my work in a special presentation at the Atwater Club! Home to prestigious squash tournaments and in a historic setting on the mountain in Montreal, the Atwater Club has been a gathering place for generations and is now hosting some cutting edge contemporary art by Kristyna Baradinaskas, Kayla Breaker, Kamile Yergeau, Lacey Janet, Sam Kasirer-Smibert and myself! Join us on September 27th for an Art Vernissage 5-11pm! It is a free event and open to the public. Artwork can be previewed and is available on Artsy.

This Saturday May 27 & Sunday May 28 all are welcome to my open studio 11am to 6pm located at 2000 Northcliffe. Please use the direct entrance on Maisonneuve! There is an opening party Friday eve at the Benny Library 7-9pm. See you soon!
