Shows in October!

I’m super excited to announce that I will have my artwork on display at Elephant Shoes for the next few months!

This is the first time I will have my Visitations (the black and white pieces) artwork on display since the conclusion of the play that they were created for. They’re a real diversion from my usual style and allowed me to explore the creepy sensibilities that underscore a lot of what I do.

I’m over the moon with how the show came together. I think the intermingling of the two series really works. Sometimes you think something makes sense in your head, but you need to see it in the space to believe it.

Many of my paintings are portraits of women, or young girls whispering secrets to each other. It’s neat to see how my “go to” themes carried through seemingly disparate works.

If you want to see the show in person swing by Ransack The Universe (1207 Bloor Street West Toronto). Elephant Shoes is housed inside. You’ll find stained glass, hula hoops, art workshops, vintage and totally random goodies, and of course art! Traversing the aisles of the store to get to the show is a bit of an adventure in itself and highly recommended.

You can find out more about Elephant Shoes on their facebook page.
