I am currently putting the finishing touches on pieces for my upcoming show entitled EMOZIONI. The solo exhibition will showcase current pieces familiar to those who have followed my career and newer, perhaps surprising works on a larger scale. I am, needless to say excited about the direction my work has taken and look forward to the response by the public. The venue (RICHMOND HILL CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS) is elegant despite the fact that it's sole purpose is not that of a gallery. It is, nonetheless, a space devoted to celebrating the arts and there is always something exciting going on. This solo show marks the last one of it's kind in Canada for me until I return with a first major retrospective in October of 2013 at the Joseph D. Carrier Gallery in Toronto. That major exhibition will be called, appropriately, FULL CIRCLE. I look forward to meeting as many friends as possible on APRIL 11,2011- these things often turn out to be mid-week socials which is rather nice and they are also good excuses for old friends and acquaintances to catch up. The last time I had a show in the G.T.A. in 2008- a couple showed up and introduced themselves as "collectors"- I hadn't seen these high school sweethearts since my days at Emery Collegiate. You never know who you will meet! And yes, it all happens around art! Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for further information.
