Recipient of the Award for Best Work by an Emerging Artist {Ontario Artist}

I was truly honoured to be the recipient of the Award for Best Work by an Emerging Artist at the Ontario Society of Artists (OSA) Members’ Exhibition of Selected Works yesterday at the Papermill Gallery at Todmorden Mills, Toronto. The piece selected for the show is “Cheltenham Badlands, Study 1”, which, I am pleased to say, was sold at the opening reception. It was a pleasure to meet and learn about many of the other artists at the show and view their amazing artworks.

My deepest thanks to John Ashbourne, member of the OSA, for sponsoring me in to the show.

Art Gallery Representation {Canadian Artist}

I am very pleased to announce that I am now being represented by Abbozzo Gallery, an excellent art gallery, in downtown Toronto, Ontario. Their blog post about the announcement is here. And my information page on their website is here. The gallery was very pleased with the success of my first solo exhibition, Tranquility, featuring 19 toned black and white photographs of Canadian landscapes in central Ontario. I am looking forward to work together in the future.

Here is a beautiful video of my pictures documenting Toronto Ribfest 2014, where I am able to play my part as official photographer, as member of the Rotary Club of Etobicoke that organizes the event.

The Rotary Club of Etobicoke, that I am a member of, has amazingly, generously, kindly (too many words to list here) organized a wine and cheese reception for my show, Tranquility, as an official club event. It was a wonderful evening, being able to share the fine artist side of me with many club members for the first time. I thank everyone for coming!
