COMMISSION

I am absolutely thrilled to share my newest commissioned project "Family Is A Beautiful Thing" with all of you! When Brian first contacted me to paint a family portrait for his wife I was incredibly honoured. He told me how much they both admire my work and how impressed his beautiful wife Deb is every time I post a new completed commissioned piece. This only further fueled my excitement for the project. In the end we decided on five individual 8" x 10" portraits with soft metallic washed backgrounds. I can't explain how fulfilling it was to finish each piece. The entire process took well over two months so I was quite pleased while putting the finishing touches on the last portrait of their son Sean. I recently heard from the happy couple and it seems Deb really loved her surprise! It is so nice to know that five of my artworks will be bringing this family joy for years to come.

Opening Reception

June 3rd 2016

7pm to 10pm

On Friday June 3rd 2016 I opened my Solo Art Exhibition at The Kingston Social in East Toronto/Scarborough. There is absolutely nothing like seeing a gallery filled with my artwork. The night was truly magical thanks to those who came to show their support. A big THANK YOU to Val Peter of Artist Unknown for some of the beautiful photos included in this post as well as the "Artifact" feature coming soon! Filming was a tad nerve racking but also very exciting. I cannot wait to see the final result! On top of this coverage, a couple of beautiful ladies came all the way from Peterborough I believe (how cool is that?). Also two very talented artist friends of mine Alexandria Karakis and Amanda Maccagnan came to show their support. And lastly, the owners of the gallery invited some really lovely friends who were all incredibly kind and supportive. I am so grateful to everyone for making it a night to remember! If you missed the opening stop by the gallery until June 27th 2016! :)
