Highlights of 2023
2023 was a year filled with creativity, art exhibitions, donations, and much more. The public art installation 'Sackville: A Visual Snapshot' was unveiled in February and a virtual tour can be done now from this website. Personal growth meant taking online courses and attending workshops.
Creating andexhibiting art was the focus in the year 2023. Here are some highlights of theyear.
Opening of the publicart installation, ‘Sackville: A Visual Snapshot’ took place at the Town Hall ofSackville, New Brunswick on February 15th during the Heritage Week. This was a massive undertaking, first the creation of tiles, then making all 14 pieces by installing the tiles on the cement board pieces, installation, and documentation of all the images.
I took part in 13different art exhibitions and shows. Here are images from some of these events.

Friends of Moncton Hospital Foundation donation of painting ‘Big Picture’ to be printed for donor recognition ($250,000 plus bracket). My painting 'Big Picture' conveys the message that sometimes in the day-to-day survival mode we lose sight of the big picture. Certainly, an individual who has donated more than $250,000 sees the big picture.
I am a lifelong learner, always trying to learnnew skills, and improve my technique. I took two online courses and attended aworkshop on Japanese Ink Wash Sumi-e painting.
The year ended with 8 weekly giveaways in Nov.and Dec. Each week in Nov. and Dec. I gave away aa piece of art – just to put asmile on someone’s face.
