I had a dream to build an art studio at my cottage. It started out small, and it grew into a beautiful space. Part of the process was just believing that this studio was important enough to me as an artist to invest in. Planning the design and living through the process, was at times challenging, but has resulted in a wonderful place to make art. We all need to believe in ourselves and in our dreams. I appreciate all the work done on this project by my contractor North on Sixty and his many tradesmen. I look forward to being part of the Muskoka art scene.

Waiting for my studio to be started and watching it grow, has taught me about patience and provided time for some introspection, and also time to create.

How has COVID forced you to change? Are there any positive changes you are going to make? I’ll share a few changes in my perspective and in my life.

It’s OK to feel like we’ve had enough of living this indoor life. How do we keep going?

I’m very excited to be showing work with Andrea Carroll, a very accomplished abstract artist. This will be a large show with over 20 paintings. All are welcome to our opening reception on March 1st. The show remains up for the month of March and is open weekdays and Sunday. If you contact me I will do my best to meet you there whenever you can come.
