I am currently showing two pieces of work at the Nevada Museum of Fine Art in Las Vegas. As part of the Contemporary Masters Show. Now through Oct. Please visit www.snmfa.com for more information. I am also going to attend the Ice Capades 70 year reunion at the beginning of summer which should be a hoot and lots of inspiration for some colorful new paintings when I return home.
My new home in Summerland BC is fabulous! I love it here. The town is quaint and so friendly. I am selling some small works, folk art dolls and a few art cards at the Summerland Art Gallery. It's a terrific gallery with very talented artist showing intriguing work. Please visit http://summerlandarts.com/ for hours to visit.
I am facilitating "painting with your feet" at the Arts Picnic on August 10th in Kelowna at the Arts Common. This is the grass area inbetween the Art Gallery and the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The National Youth Orchestra will be participating and the whole event is free. Please go to www.kelownaartgallery.com for details.
I will also be painting live again this year at the Kelowna Art Gallery Gala in October. Stay tuned for ticket info or go to the web site www.kelownaartgallery.com for info.
Have a great summer!
I am moving my studio! After ten years in Kelowna and three at the Rotary Center for the Arts my husband and I have moved to Summerland. I will be moving my studio the last two weeks of May. I am researching art space in Summerland and had a lovely tour of the Summerland Art Gallery just today. Until further notice you can reach me by email from this site or call my cell.
I am also getting ready to show my art in Nevada next month and attend an Ice Capades reunion in Las Vegas. Lots of new adventures!
My artwork and short bio appear on page 105 of this recently published art book. It is available at Amazon.com or you can order it directly from me and the publisher will ship it directly to you! Please email me if you are interested.
I have photographed two new wave/surf paintings, a polar bear and her cub and an abstract piece in red. They are all on the site under the appropriate headings in the gallery pages. Please have a look! I am waiting to hear from the publisher of Contemporary Masters III for the launch date of this book which I am in. It should be next month. I have also been asked to show three peices in a show this summer at the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art. My work will be exhibited June 19 through September 4, 2010. Happy January!
I will be back in the studio early January to photograph works I have been finishing up. Hopefully I will get them up on the site soon.
I am being included in this upcoming art book. Check back for details in the new year.
I will be cooking and celebrating American Thanksgiving for most of the week November 23rd through the 26th but will return to the studio Dec 1 for a few days of painting. I should be in the studio for most of December if you feel the need for some last minute art gifts - call or come by. Still updating this silly web site and all the photos. Someday!

Quails’ Gate to Celebrate Local Farmers and Artisans At Second Annual Harvest Fair
Kelowna, BC, August 19, 2009 - Quails’ Gate Winery will host its Second Annual Harvest Fair on September 12, 2009. The Harvest Fair, a celebration of local farmers and artisans is held on the lawns of Quails’ Gate’s Historic Allison house and features farm fresh produce, local art and live music.
"Like our farm suppliers, our family roots are tied to the land,"
commented Tony Stewart, CEO and Proprietor of Quails’ Gate. "As fall harvest approaches, the fair is our opportunity to celebrate those farmers who benefit not only our talented Chef Roger Sleiman but also the patrons of Old Vines Restaurant."
The Harvest Fair day includes farm fresh produce from local growers including Second Wind Farms, Okanagan Lavender Herbfarm, Suncatcher Farms, Festers Peppers, North Okanagan Game Meats and Little Creek Gardens. Winery Chef Roger Sleiman will be at the grill barbecueing savory selections and serving up fresh from the oven breads and baked goods.
"The Harvest Fair is a true celebration of all that is local," says Angela McManus, Quails’ Gate Marketing Director. "Artists whose work captures the essence of Okanagan life and landscape will be on hand as well as Kelowna singer-songwriter Andrew Smith performing his beautiful folk music. We are looking forward to another bustling and fun-filled fair." Participating artists include Annabel Stanley (vineyard weaving), Linda Lovisa (painting), Judy Pederson (photography), Louise Lambert (painting), Teri Paul (pottery and painting), Tari Di Bello (painting and vineyard sprites), Karen Close (painting) and Ray Jurys (barrel art).
Entrance to the Quails’ Gate Harvest Fair to be held Saturday, September 12 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. is free with a contribution to the Kelowna and West Kelowna Food Bank.
Quails’ Gate Estate Winery is nestled in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. Our 125-acre Estate vineyard, located on the shores of Lake Okanagan, is owned and operated by the Stewart Family, pioneering horticulturists in the Okanagan for 100 years. We invite you to visit us daily, year round in the Wineshop and Old Vines Restaurant for a unique taste of the Okanagan.
