Northern Cardin-Ale City Bird Beer

I am honoured to have my art featured on Northern Cardin-Ale City Bird Beer and proud that the proceeds from its sales will fund bird conservation activities in London. As a coloured pencil artist, my focus for many years has been local birds. This is a real “feather in my cap.” Also happy to confirm that the beer itself is delicious.

First Annual Artisans’ Series Exhibit

I am a participant in the First Annual Artisans’ Series exhibit at Somerville 630. It runs September 1 to October 17.
 
Located at 630 Dundas Street, Somerville 630 is where great food, coffee, art, and culture come together. At over 130 years old, the Somerville building has always been home to the creative and entrepreneurial spirit. Originally built and occupied by the Somerville Paper Box Company, established by C.R. Somerville in 1886, they operated out of the building until 1946.
Today the main floor of this storied building is home to Fire Roasted Coffee Co., plus six other food vendors, two small businesses, an art gallery and cultural space for workshops, pop-ups, crafters, and events of all kinds. https://somerville630.ca/
 

Featured artist on Artisan 3-pack

I am pleased to be the featured artist on bags of Fire Roasted Coffee’s Artisan 3-pack series. This is a line of limited-run micro-lot coffees: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, Costa Rica Honey Process, and Papua New Guinea. A portion of the sales from this series goes to the artist and towards the revitalization of Somerville Place located at 630 Dundas St. Located in the heart of Old East Village, Somerville 630 is where great food, coffee, art, and culture come together. Coffee can be purchased online for pick up or delivery.
