GOODBYE — ADIEU — FAREWELL
Dear friends, artists and art lovers,
Sometimes life brings us to a point when we must realize that big changes have occurred that have to be dealt with. So it is happened for me.
In April I shall reach the ripe old age of 89 and after some health problems, I understood that it was time to say goodbye. I haven’t been painting for a while, but have been writing and published 2 books, and shall continue writing. The time has come to leave my beloved house of 57 years, as well as my studio, and move to Tapestry.
To celebrate this important event in my life, as well as honour Anne Adams’ and my own creation of Artists in our Midst Art Walk, I shall have a final great sale of all my work, as well as of all the artist’s materials in my studio, as follows:
ART – all prints, paintings and drawings sold at 60% discount, most of the proceeds donated to Artists in our Midst.
ART SUPPLIES AND FURNITURE – Low prices
Hope to see you all in my studio for the last time!

“This poignant collection serves as an important reminder of the fragile and tenuous nature of our own existence, the incredible power of art, love, community and the aweinspiring mystery, beauty and hope we can all find when we take the time to reconnect with nature and ourselves.”
– Paul F. Crawford
Director/Curator at Penticton Art Gallery
You are invited to enter and experience my world of images and words. After a lifetime of painting life with brush and colour, at the end of my seventh decade the world presented itself in words. My memoir, Life within the Shadows, was born.
“I was unprepared for the creative difference between painting and writing. In painting, the details are seen in their entirety throughout the creative process. The writer, on the other hand, covers page after page with words and sentences that have to be read one by one and never seen at a single glance. The singular element foreign to painting, but inextricably linked with writing, is the element of time. One needs a certain time to read a book, while a painting may be seen in seconds, minutes or hours, according to the viewer’s wishes. The hackneyed phrase that ‘an image is worth one thousand words’ may well be true, but along with my paintings, now I need those thousand words to tell my stories. This memoir is an attempt to shine some light into the nooks and crannies of a journey that pointed me inexorably towards a final destination: art.”
