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!

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. I hope to see you there!
