My artistic work and explorations continue, between various travels, and I share some of them on my Facebook Pages: You are invited to visit and comment! *** Please see 'Past Exhibits' for details about this year's concluded shows 2016 SO FAR: Between January and May 2016, I had 3 solo exhibits and participated in 6 collective shows, between two trips to Switzerland to care for my parents. In June & July, I travelled across Newfoundland - pictures and comments to be found on Facebook. Paintings somewhat later. I have also been deeply affected by the decline of my elderly parents and their poor health, and that has obviously influenced my art.
