In other book news, 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 April) at a considerable advance-order discount from Amazon. To find out more, click here to be taken to Amazon’s listing.
Recent publicity
In January, Avenue Magazine’s architectural design column featured a client’s new home. Front and centre in their living room is one of my favourite storm-chasing paintings. This dramatic painting was inspired from a tornado-bearing storm. To catch a glimpse of the painting and view the stunning house, the article is available on-line here.
More on magazines…. Enjoy Gardening, the nationally distributed gardening magazine for Hole’s Greenhouses, has a 6-page spread of my prairie oil paintings alongside poetry by Pierrette Requier. Pick up this spring’s issue to take in the article. To download a pdf of the article click here. For more information about the magazine, click here.

I am delighted to have been part of the Mural Mosaic project this year. This coastal inspired creation is being unveiled for the first time in its full glory as part of the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. The unveiling is set for February 13th.

This fan page will greatly facilitate people’s way to keep up to date with the latest creations or news as it happens.
