Debut Canadian Exhibition @ Leonardo Galleries, Toronto

This is my debut exhibition in Canada and the first outside of the UK. Unfortuntely it's an expensive job shipping paintings half way around the world, so only 4 original paintings are being exhibited but I am looking forward to the response they recieve.....hopefully all positive :)

Leonardo Galleries can be found at 133 Avenue Road, in the upmarket Yorkville district of downtown Toronto. You can find out more about their history, events and services here

The exhibition can be viewed on their website, or if you are lucky enough to be in the area, do take time out to visit the gallery.

I wish I could get there myself to not only see my work on exhibit, but to visit what is a wonderful gallery. All being well, maybe I can arrange a trip in the future. Canada has always been on my list of places to visit, so it will be a good excuse to go :)

The Sweet Fantastic

Quite possibly the best noise you can hear during a childhood summer is the sound of 'Mr Scoopy' and the likes, pulling into your street. Then frantically running round the house looking, or scrounging, for a pound, not just so you can have an ice cream but to experience BUYING an ice cream from a VAN!! A sweet shop RIGHT on your doorstep. Doesn't get any better than that.

Nowadays when I hear the rather poor tune echoing down the road, I get instantly annoyed knowing that the kids are going to ask for some money!....but how can I say no. It's ice cream....from a van!

It's the first time I've shown work at this show so am very excited about it and hope it will be as succesful as the London Art Fair a few weeks back. I also hope to get along myself to have a good look around.

Your Star Will Shine

(36" x 30" acrylic on box canvas)

Everyone hopes to have their moment of glory some day, either through a single achievement, at an event or by reaching a goal they have set themselves over a period of time.

Whether its through natural talent or just through determination and hard work, when the day comes, you feel on top of the world with a strong sense of pride from not only yourself but also from friends and family.

If you feel that goal is yet to be reached, know in yourself that one day your star will shine and shine for all the world to see…..

...unless nobody is watching, which would just be typical!!
