The COVID-19 pandemic forced the 2020 show online, which opened this formerly exclusive show up to art lovers of all kinds, from all over the world! We've had two more since and the [...]

Giclees: Canvas and Paper Prints

I am launching into the world of Canvas and Paper Prints! They are called Giclees. This is an affordable alternative for customers who may want to purchase a favourite image. Embellished Giclees are high quality canvas prints using archival inks. They are prints that I have hand embellished for beautiful texture and a hand-painted effect and then varnished.

One couple’s unique approach to buy art!

I met Esther and Dennis at The Artist Project 2015.  They were shopping for pieces to place in their beautiful newly built home in London, ON.  They were choosing between my piece and a couple of others that they had seen at the show.  I believe they understood that the artists at the show had brought their best and had decided beforehand whose work they wanted to see. I was privileged that they chose a [...]
