WHAT WE TURN TO STONE- We Are Medusa
Saint John Arts Centre, Saint John, NB
July-September 2022
​
I am deeply moved by the hurts and desolations of this world and its people. I feel a shrinking and sickening sorrow and anger in my gut. I know that compassion and connection are fundamental to the survival of all life here on Earth, and yet that does not seem to have sunk in for so many people.
To express these strong, dark emotions in my mosaics and paintings I have turned toward the ancient Greek, mythological character, Medusa.

In June 2019, a group of New Brunswick craftspeople immersed themselves in the wonders of Fundy National Park for five days. They were given the time and space to develop new ideas as they experienced the natural landscapes of New Brunswick, stimulated by scientific processes that shape and change the natural world.

STAINED GLASS REVISITED - group show
Saint John Arts Centre, Saint John, NB
Sept.9-Oct.30 2016
​
My mosaic "INTENTION" using stained glass 48" x 26" is part of the exhibit.
The twenty local artists in this show have (sometimes) included the same design elements in their pieces you might see in more traditional stained glass design but as painters, jewellers, fibre artists, photographers and potters, their tribute to stained glass is very individual - some fun, some fanciful, some evocative - all one of a kind.
​
The artists and craftspeople in this show were asked to create a piece of work based on their interpretation of the ancient art of stained glass. They were given no “guidelines” and the resulting works speak to the diversity of style and thought process of this group of creators. The featured artists are: Mary Collier-Fleet, Brian Comeau, Sheryl Crowley, Andrew Giffin, Fred Harrison, Kathy Hooper, Sue Hooper, Theresa MacKnight, Fabiola Martinez, Rachel Morouney, Bob Morouney, Mary Kay O’Brien, Deborah Payne, Gudi Pach, Joe Pach, Rob Roy, Helen Stanley, Helen Shideler, Patricia Tingley, Dan Xu.

I have a series of six "Humanity Blooms" mosaic pieces showing currently in the Saint John Airport display cases. They are so named because of the inspirations for the series - plant forms and found metal objects mostly discovered at Habitat For Humanity's ReStore nearby.Several other artists also are showing so if you are heading out that way, stop by and take a look or see online ! Continuing May until September 2016.

Please join fellow artist Deborah Payne and myself on September 9th from 2-5pm at HOOPER STUDIOS in Hampton, NB for the Opening of our show. Deborah is a weaver of both fiber and paper and I am so excited to be working with her to create this exhibit. I am also very honoured to be asked to show in Kathy and Sue's gallery.
I have been doing a lot of experimentation with objects scavenged from Habitat For Humanities's RESTORE and the results will be part of this exhibit. So many interesting shapes and textures to play with!
VISION ECLATEE - FRACTURED VISION
Salon Irène Grant-Guérette, Saint John, NB
March 12 2009
​
These mosaics, made of ceramic and glass, have been my chance to play, to get messy, to experiment, to see with different eyes. Accompanying many of them are pastels, sketches and watercolours which, for me, are part of the process of working out the shapes, colours and patterns for the mosaic
1st Solo Show..
