Upcoming exhibitions & past showings.
Bare Walls Virtual Gallery Exhibition
A one week pop-up group exhibition hosted by the wonderful Canadian virtual gallery, ARTWRK. Presenting four diverse artists from North America, this show is stunning and something that I am proud to be a part of.
Enjoy the show here until February 3, 2022:
Soul of the Rockies
“Soul of the Rockies” features a series of abstract landscape paintings focusing on my time exploring and meditating within the Rocky Mountains. The paintings have been created on unique surfaces for different reasons; the wood panels suggest a connection the natural elements of the outdoors and the plexiglass suggest a looking glass into my meditations.
Organized by the RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program
Originally meant for June 8, 2020, the exhibition has been postponed until further notice due to COVID-19. We anticipate the new exhibition will be May 1 – July 4, 2021, but there could be additional postponement due to the pandemic. Please check back for further updates closer to the event.

AIR - Group Show
My featured painting: Summer Fires
The Rocky Mountains are a place of health, grounding and connection to the land. For many, the Rocky Mountains are home. When I hike the mountains in the summer I feel the vibrancy and nourishment of the environment. But in summer 2017 many of my hikes were cancelled due to forest fire evacuations and air quality warnings. It was terrifying to watch helplessly as wildfires seared so much of the land. My wish is to inspire awareness of the increasing danger of forest fires due to global warming so that generations after mine can still enjoy these magnificent mountains.
Organized by Alberta Society of Artists
Location: AGA (Art Gallery of Alberta)
**This show was a travelling exhibition and was also exhibited in Calgary at the Central Library and in Drumheller at the West GM Gallery.
