Finalist for The Kingston Prize

I have just found out that my painting "Seeing Myself Through the Fog of Misperception" has been selected as a finalist for the Kingston Prize!  This prize for Canadian Portraiture is a biennial national competition which is the Canadian equivalent of the BP Award.  The thirty finalists will have their work exhibited in Gananoque October 4th through 20th and at The Art Gallery of Calgary November 2nd to December 21st.  I'll keep you posted on the exhibition information!

Mural for the Canada Summer Games

My painting "Swimmer," will be included in the the National Mural Mosaic Project for the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec.  It will hang amongst panels by artists from across Canada and together will form a different, unified image.  Here are the stages of my painting from the initial drawing through to completion, as well as the final image of my panel.  I'm excited to see where it fits into the larger whole, and looking forward to seeing what the overall mural will portray!
