On the evening of November 9, 2019, I will have a piece, Paynter’s Bay, as part of the Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery (Oshawa) fund-raising fine art photography auction, RMG Exposed.

A preview exhibition of the artwork in the auction will be held from November 2 to 9.

I am truly honoured to be the recipient of the 2019 OSA President’s Medal, an award in recognition of artistic excellence and outstanding service to the Ontario Society of Artists. The OSA is Canada’s longest continuing art society, founded in 1872, and being a part of that great history is humbling. I am proud to serve as both an artist in the OSA and as Web Master on the executive board of directors.
