APRIL 9: 2026 ART IN THE CITY
I will be showing my work in the 2026 ART IN THE CITY event at the West End Community
Centre, from May 1 to May 3 inclusive. This will be the twenty-first time the event has been
held, and although I haven't been at every one of them this will be my seventh time including
the very first one in 2006!
The opening night is called the "vernissage" and is accompanied by drinks and snacks, all for
free including admission! I hope to see you there!

JANUARY 16: 2026 NEWS UPDATE
Hello and welcome! Best wishes to all for a happy, successful, and prosperous New Year.
Lat year was a very busy year for me. I showed my artwork at five different events, successfully
selling quite a bit of art, and at least 300 artist cards. In fact, the artist cards were so
popular that I have spent the last couple of months creating more than 40 new cards and printing
them out, as well as re-printing cards that I'd sold out of. Some of the new card images are
shown below, a selection of my photographs and artwork. So far I have 345 cards in stock!
Please note: I am happy to take orders for these cards!
I gave two lectures last year, two short talks at events, and had two articles published that I
wrote. I donated 18 original artworks to the West End Seniors' Network and the Canadian Art
Preservation Foundation. I also donated a lot of artwork, books, DVD's, CD's, dishes, glassware,
and clothing to the Clothing & Collectables thrift store in the Denman Mall.
I did a lot of work on my BC Artists project, and was helped out
significantly by friends and people who were interested in the artists that I have listed. I was
intending to have a "33-1/3" party in September to celebrate living in this apartment for one
third of a century, but came down with an infestation of Pharoah's ants and had to clean out my
kitchen in preparation for the exterminators to come in.
I was pleased to be nominated in 2025 for the ORDER OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, but did not receive
the honour. However, the nominator will be re-submitting the nomination in 2026, as allowed, so
hopefully that will be successful this year!
