​
I plan on being in attendance for the VIP evening if you are in the area and want to chat about my art or view art from other talented Veteran Artists. Art pieces will be for sale at the Exhibition as well.
Details will be forthcoming about the Invictus portion of the Exhibition in February where I will also be a volunteer for the 2025 Invictus Games helping with the Opening, Medals and Closing ceremonies. Being on Team Canada for the Invictus Games in Sydney Australia in 2018 was a huge part of my healing journey and I am excited to pay it forward.

Did you know? Giclée (pronounced gee-clay) is a fine-art printing process that uses digital images, high-end printers and archival inks, to print on superior quality paper or canvas material. The word Giclée literally means "to spray," which refers to the way the printer sprays the ink onto the canvas.
