Art of Healing 2023 tickets on sale September 1

Again this year I have a work in the Sechelt Hospital Foundation’s Art of Healing fundraising event. This event includes a display of 36 pieces of art by local artists over the Art Crawl weekend (Oct 20-22) at the Sunshine Coast Botanical Gardens. On Saturday (Oct 21), 36 Collector ticket holders and others will gather at the Gardens for a gala event that will culminate in a draw for one of the 36 pieces, plus a live auction of adventure packages and the draw for our grand prize raffle ticket holder for a trip for two to anywhere Air Canada flies in North America plus other travel benefits.

Here’s the piece I’ve donated—buy a Collector ticket ($600) and you may win the draw to have this on your wall! Event and raffle tickets can be purchased online only, at https://www.sechelthospitalfoundation.org/art-of-healing-event-ticket-details-2023/ and https://www.sechelthospitalfoundation.org/art-of-healing-exhibit-event-2023/

Hope to see some of you there!

Turquoise and Jade acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 framed; market value $950

New book, new show

The Landing Artists’ Summer Show and Sale will be at the Sunshine Coast Botanical Gardens on Aug 5-7, 11-4 each day. Come by and browse work from eight artists and pick up my new book Always Your Peggy!

This story is a fictionalized history of my English mother’s WWII years—a departure from Canadian history but, I hope, just as enjoyable. I’ll also have lots of new paintings and cards on view—see you there!

Spring Confetti acrylic on canvas 16 x 20 unframed ready to hang $450

Bison Rock Oil on canvas framed 23 x 29 $750


New watercolours added

As my ‘new works’ consist mostly of watercolours done during, or inspired by, my travels over the past year, I’ve renamed the page ‘watercolours’ and updated it with new works. These are almost all about 9'“x9”, matted and framed out to 12” x 12”. They are priced modestly to fit everyone’s budget—nice little gems for small spaces in your home! Enjoy.

Wind from the West 9x9 framed $275

Art of the West acceptance

I am pumped that my oil painting Silver Passage (24 x 36, $750) has been accepted into the Federation of Canadian Artists’ Scenes From Western Canada show in early May (Granville Island, Vancouver, BC).
