This Thursday the 9th of July will be the opening night for a White House group show at the Gallery 1313 in Parkdale. I Just installed my quilt today! If you're in the city come to the show it will be up until the 19th of July.
I made two 'machine embroidered' drawings for a traveling show titled 'We Made a Deal With the Devil' The show will be traveling from Halifax to Toronto with a preview/send off show on the 25th of July, at the Project 165 Gallery in Kensington Market. This is a preview of my work.
Mark Dudiak interviewed me for his blog. The interview was about being left at home when everyone is out having fun.
Speaking of having fun I went for a yacht ride yesterday! Brian took Dallas and me out for a cruise, so while the city was in fast motion we were relaxing in the sunshine.
