2nd Annual Garden Party
The 2nd Annual Garden party will be held on July 11th, 2010. I will be showing the new paintings and photography I have been working on over the past year . My new work focuses on landscape once again and is a combination of my old and new painting styles. Strong, intense lines with more subtle and colorful detail.
Look forward to seeing you at the Garden Party!

Thank-You!
Thanks to all those who attended this year’s Garden Party and for making it such a successful event. A special thank-you goes out to both of my parents Glenn and Maureen for all their help and contributions. The show simply would not have happened without them!

Garden Party 1 Week Away!
It’s hard to believe that mid-July is almost upon us which means so is the highly anticipated Garden Party!
The landscape paintings have been progressing at a much better pace than the color series. Probably because of the familiarity I have with painting landscapes. That being said, the color series turned out better then originally planned. The paintings began taking on a life of their own and became like a math equation that I had to figure out. Fortunately I’m much better at painting then I ever was at math and was able to come up with an answer!
Here are a couple photos of paintings of both the abstract series titled “Beneath the Surface” and the landscape series titled “BC Scenery”.

Garden Party Quickly Approaching!
Only 3 weeks until the Garden Party! The abstract color series has progressed nicely and are now going into their final polishing phase. I have begun outlining the new landscape series which will end up being quite similar to the ones I did for the Ian Tan Gallery show in ’07.
Hope to see everyone there!

The Garden Party!
I hope you are able to join us for a fun and lively afternoon/evening of art, music, cocktails and appetizers on Thursday, July 16th from 4pm-9pm.
Over the past 6 months I’ve been working on 3 different series of paintings and a variety of different types of photographs. My main focus in my paintings, has been to explore color theory, texture and composition through the subject of flowers and plants. I have also produced some new landscape pieces as well as they seemed to be popular among many!
Check this site often as I will be previewing some of the work on the blog.
See you there!
