Due to the unavoidable postponement of my TEACUPS AND TATTOOS exhibition at the Ruberto Ostberg Gallery, Patrick and I decided to host a couple of "curbside" unveilings.  Models, family and neighbours alike were treated to the first public glimpses of several of the paintings to be featured when the show is actually exhibited.  It was so thrilling for me to finally see my models reaction to these works.

My collage papers are all hand printed mono prints, died tissue, paper towels and even toilet paper.  Yes toilet paper.  This piece is from a photo by my talented brother who lives in Toronto.

This collage is a compilation of several elements from other recent work.  Using my computer I designed the painting using photo editing and design tools.  From there it was back to the gluing board and the result was fairly predictable while being creatively interesting as well.
