Alternate Spaces:
You can catch some of my work at the Barrie City Hall ... A Way Forward! Resurfacing? 
To walk on the other side of crisis small acts of resilience can lift you up through the density of hurt and despair with this exhibition I take a step forward to find my footing. Presenting work from 2013 to present ... celebrating the 'way we were' and embracing the now.  

If you are out and about, drop by this unique space, work will be up until August 31, 2022. 
I am excited to present a body of work that spans from 2013 to current.  The past few years have been very trying and this exhibition I consider part of a healing journey forward, with a very important current piece pulling me from a state of grief — helping me to embrace the now.
July 8, 2022  to August 31, 2022 Install: Barrie City Hall, Front Floor Gallery,  Barrie, Ontario.

​Surviving Death, Resurrecting Memories

10/4/2019

​“Surviving Death, Resurrecting Memories” I seem to have a need to create a body of work that is more a memorial to my late mother Ridente (Rita) Luchese, an amazing seamstress she taught me not only skills of sewing also the idea of play as making - we were often enlisted to help make little doll dresses as she worked for Regal Toys. She never cared much for knitting but did pass on embroidery, crocheting and much more. This body of print-based work brings together my debossed intaglio/monoprints {recessed relief], embellished using the skills she passed on and her own sewing supplies. Creating this body of work happily resurrected memories long thought lost and forgotten and surprisingly realized forever with me with every stitch.

Reception: Saturday, October 5, 2019
Time: 1 pm to 4 pm
Artist talk: 3 pm
@PRNT Collective 25 Hart Drive, Barrie, ON

The PRNT Collective is a private printmaking studio, the available viewing dates: Oct 5 - 12, 1 - 4 pm.
or by appointment October 5 - 31, 2019

Started the year with a Print Exchange

2/25/2019

​Print Exchange
For Residents of Redwood Park Communities
On the theme of Welcome Home. 
Organized by Christina McBean and Katie Green. 

I took this opportunity to create something that commemorated my Mother who died recently. A seamstress she made the most beautiful doilies, and I decided that if anything said home to me, it was those. So I created prints using the doilies as the matrix and embellished them with embroidery. The results were so satisfying I realized I am using my art making as a mode of mourning. 

Exhibition information TBA.
