In January of 2022 and then in September 2024, I had the chance to hold a fall exhibit at Galerie CAVA. The exhibit was inspired by the light, depth, and movement of nature. During the event, Radio Canada interviewed with me, and this is a picture of me with the journalists. The first interview was for my artist residency and Les Expose Miniature des membres. This is from that month of the miniature paintings exhibit. I painted birds and enjoyed the fact that Radio Canada was interested in the French tradition of miniature paintings.

The owners of Bay1Gallery. One of the best fine art galleries in Edmonton with amazing art, woodwork and people. During the Pandemic, I spent a lot of time at the Bay1gallery and participated in very unique art exhibits. Tricia and Ralph continue to curate beautiful pieces and I am very grateful to be part of their collection of gallery artists.

Art exhibits online in Switzerland were a norm for me during these years. I really enjoyed the experience and connecting with people across oceans. I will be doing some new exhibits in 2024 and 2025 with IAVA (Unesco's International Association of Visual Artists) where some of the exhibits will be digital and some will be in person. Stay tuned!

September 2023, Radio Canada came out to my yard to interview me for my fall exhibit at the Galerie CAVA. My art focused on Light, depth and movement of nature and my yard had been my studio for most of the pieces.

Galerie CAVA, Light, Depth & Movement of Nature. This is a 3D Chromatic painting. It is an abstract surface which transforms into depth and movement found in a water fall. Its inspiration was melting glaciers.
