You can see their works from November 27th - December 20th, 2008.

We had quite a fun portrait session with Val & Chris in the cold November weather. I was excited to still find some colour, even though all of the leaves had fallen.

Wow!!!
Regional Contact (CTV) is doing a show about us!!!

They filmed us all day Tuesday March 18th. We started at the Arboretum with snowshoeing and by noon they came to visit our gallery and studio at home. Both Joel (the host of Regional Contact) and Randy (the cameraman) were very delightful to work with. They made the day enjoyable and we can't wait to see the show, which will air on April 5th!
