Art despite pain

In the news

If you're in the Montréal area, stop by the Kirkland Library to view the 2022 Autumn Art Expo. Presented by the Artists' Circle of the West Island, this free public art event will continue until October 1, 2022. The exhibition includes original paintings in acrylic, mixed media, oil, and watercolour, with a wide range of different artistic styles and techniques.

This afternoon, the group Artists in Montréal presented the Virtual Vernissage for the online exhibition "In my childhood". This art event was organized in partnership with the non-profit Make it Matter, for children's well-being. One of my watercolours was included in this eExhibition, a 10 x 8" Cedar waxwing in a shrub. It's a bird that we see only occasionally now, but there seemed to always be flocks of them nearby when I was a child.

I use my art to raise awareness of chronic pain, and this art-as-advocacy was featured in a Montréal newspaper in August 2022.
