Water for Life -- come out to see a great international exhibition

I'm so proud to be exhibiting in this wonderful international show in Niagara Falls

this summer.  If you're in town please come out to the opening on May 12 at 7 pm.

The theme is water "Water for Life" and the concept is timely -- with so many

people in the world unable to access clean water, and with our own careless

treatment of our lakes, rivers and oceans.  

My paintings are not political, but I started painting images with the ocean as

part of the theme a few years ago.  My motivation was to honour the landscapes

cherished by people I met, and also my own strong connection to the astounding

ocean vistas, I'm privileged to see every year when we visit our one room school

house in Nova Scotia.  In my ocean landscape work I want to celebrate the beauty

I see.  And it breaks my heart that we are harming our most precious resource -- water.

Aside from the thrill of exhibiting with such amazing artists in the Niagara Falls
History Museum, beside one of the natural wonders of the world (Niagara Falls),
I am so looking forward to seeing some of the artists I've shown with before in
Florence, Italy at the Florence, Biennale. And the curator for the last Florence Biennale
I exhibited in, in 2015, is the International Cultural Promoter of this show in
Canada -- Angelina Herrera. The Artistic Director for the exhibition is Antoine
Gaber.

So if you are in Niagara Falls please stop by on May 12 at 7 pm..  The show runs
until September 9.

Have a loving water day.
