Upcoming Events
The Works - Please join me and poet Pierrette Requier for the opening of our joint exhibit Storm/Orage on June 30th at 6.30 pm til 8 pm at the Don Wheaton Y in downtown Edmonton (10211 102 Avenue). There will be light refreshments and at 7 pm talks and readings by the artist and poet about the installation. For more information about The Works click here. If you are unable to make the opening, then there is plenty of time to see the installation; it is a special hold-over exhibit that will be hanging for 6 months.
Whyte Avenue Artwalk - I am once again taking part in the artwalk. I will be at my usual location in front of Aveda on the 106-107 St block. Do come along and check out a wealth of new smaller oil paintings for sale. The artwalk runs during the day from July 16 - 18. For more information on the artwalk, click here.
Books
I am thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Creative Glass, a hardcover celebration of 117 glass artists working in North America. I was selected to be one of the artists included in the book. It is published by Schiffer Publishing, and authored by Danijela Kracun and Charles McFadden. The book is available for pre-order already (launching in July/August after a slight delay this year) at a considerable advance-order discount from Amazon.

Recent publicity
I hope Edmonton area subscribers managed to catch the beautiful Arts section cover story on The Works festival on June 23rd, in the Edmonton Journal. Deluge, the iconic storm painting that captures the essence of the exhibit that is part of The Works was shown in full glory in Janice Ryan’s column.
