I am very thankful to have received a Mid-Career Project Grant, from the Ontario Arts Council. Early in 2020, I started working with Queenie, a ceramic artist at clayArt Studios, to learn and create very thin 'card-like' porcelain pieces. I will produce many of these individual pieces, which will then become the 'building blocks' for [...]

Carving Kali It's always a fun and interesting challenge to carve animals. I'm particularly happy with the way that this Belgian Malinois, is taking shape.

I placed them around the spaces where the symposium was held, and allowed them to melt, as they do naturally. With this work, I always respond to [...]
