Spring 2026: Three Exhibitions, Three Conversations with Landscape
Share
There is a particular kind of attention that painting demands — not just from the artist, but from the viewer. This spring, I'm honoured to be part of three exhibitions across Ontario, each one a different kind of conversation with landscape, light, and the quiet persistence of the natural world.
Attention and Care — Fabhaus Gallery, Blyth
On view until April 25th
The title of this exhibition says everything I believe about painting: that to make a work of art is an act of sustained attention, and that attention, given fully, becomes a form of care.
The works in Attention and Care grew from long hours spent watching — the way afternoon light moves across a field, the way water holds colour differently in March than in July. Rilke wrote, "Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure." I think of that often when I'm standing before a landscape that refuses to be simplified.
Fabhaus Gallery is located in Blyth, Ontario. I hope you'll make the drive — small towns have a way of slowing you down just enough to really see.
Through Artist's Eyes — Art Gallery of Georgina
On view until April 26th
Through Artist's Eyes is an invitation to look again at the familiar. So much of my work begins with places I've returned to many times — the same shoreline, the same treeline at dusk — and the discovery that they are never quite the same twice.
Pablo Neruda understood this: "You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep spring from coming." That transformation — quiet, inevitable, full of longing — is what I'm chasing in every canvas.
The Art Gallery of Georgina is a wonderful community space, and I'm grateful to be showing there this spring. Come and linger.
Small Scale, Big Impact — The Link at Innovation Park
On view until April 23rd
Don't let the title fool you — small paintings carry enormous weight. There is something about a work you can hold in your hands, or hang in a corner of a room you live in every day, that a large canvas simply cannot do. It becomes part of your life in a different way.
Camus wrote, "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." These small works are that — concentrated light, held still.
The Link at Innovation Park brings art into unexpected spaces, and I love that. Art doesn't belong only in traditional galleries; it belongs wherever people gather and think.
Visit, Collect, Connect
All three exhibitions are on now through late April — if you're in Ontario, I'd love to see you at one (or all three!). Details on locations and hours are on the Exhibitions page.
Original works from these and past exhibitions are also available to collect online. Many of my paintings have found homes in private collections across Canada, the United States, and Europe — each one a small piece of a larger conversation about landscape and attention.
