Louise Perrone and I had a blast at Granville Island, thank you to everyone who came out. This was an ‪#‎jewelrydialgue‬ event for our upcoming exhibition at Craft Council of BC.  Pretty excited about this exhibition opportunity and very grateful for all of CCBC’s support.

As part of the Artist in Resident responsibilities, you give an informal artist talk in the Anna Leonowens Gallery.   On Wednesday, June 15 I gave my scheduled talk but as the summer session is a little quieter I was concerned that I would be chatting with 2 or 3 people so I was happily surprised by the number of people who attended.  The students are from all disciplines and asked some interesting questions about my work and process.  Thank you to everyone who attended, really enjoyed sharing my work and process with all of you.

My solo show “Memoria” opened Monday, June 6 at the Anna Leonowens Gallery, NSCAD University.  I wanted to share a  few images from the opening.  Thank you to everyone who came out on that rainy night.  It was so wonderful to meet so many Haligonians and chat with you!  if you weren’t able to make it to the opening the exhibition runs until June 18.

We finished the installation of my exhibition at the Anna Leonowens Gallery.  The install went pretty smoothly, a big thank you to the Anna Leonowens staff, and student interns for their amazing work and help.  Thank you to Paul for his installation skill and overall support, couldn’t have done it without you!  A wonderful bonus during the install was a visit from Rebecca Hannon.  It was so great to finally meet.  Rebecca dropped by with some flowers, such a lovely treat and the lily of valley have such a wonderful fragrance.  So special to have a little of her presence in the gallery for the opening.  Excited for the opening this evening…more on that in the next posts

Excited to have work accepted into UNDER FIRE, an international online exhibition sponsored by the Enamel Guild North East.  Honoured to have my work selected by Barbara Seidenath, one of my enamel heroes.  Visit the NEGE website at www.egne.org, to see the exhibition UNDER FIRE after November 5, 2015
