Early 2024

I have a new solo exhibition coming up at the Orillia Museum of Art and History, in Orillia’s arts district. Both the Mulcahy Family Gallery and the Mariposa Gallery on the ground floor will be taken up by twenty seven paintings, tactile replicas and assistive devices. I have incorporated a number of features to make this show more inclusive and accessible to everyone, especially people with low vision. More details to follow as we get closer, but it promises to be an interesting and vibrant show, with all new work. Below are a few pictures related to the show – tools of the trade, teasers and details that will all come together for the big exhibition!
