St. Thomas Elgin Studio Tour

I'm very excited to be participating in the
St. Thomas - Elgin Public Art Centre's Studio Tour,
May 23 and 24.



This self-guided, Saturday and Sunday tour, puts the artist into the role as "host" as they welcome folks into their studios and homes.

Ah, the smell of the acrylic paint, the roar of the crowd.

The only draw-back is I can't take the tour myself (love Ethel's pottery!)
Last year was alot of fun and I'm looking forward to much more of the same.

Of course, it must be an incredible thrill for the general public, the average joe and jolene, to see an artist of my magnitude at work in my natural setting.



An opportunity for my fans to soak-up some of the glamour found in an artists studio, as shown here on my left and right (or on your right and left)

So if you're in St. Thomas over the long weekend, be sure to drop by between 11 am and 5 pm. And if you can't be in this part of Ontario - what, they don't have trains where you live?

Relish Elgin

Relish Elgin magazine is always cooking up something special, and this year they have a special dish;

Arts in Elgin County Guide 2009.

Editor Debra Bagshaw and designer Joanne Bagshaw are in the thick of prepping for a May release of this special edition and, you guessed it, I've made sure I'm in it, in all my glossy splendor.

This will surely be the essential guide to relishing the arts in Elgin County and at least 10,000 copies will be distributed across the county.





In addition to promoting, the Arts in Elgin County guide is also a celebration of the St. Thomas Elgin Public Art Centre's 40th anniversary!
