19th Annual Juried Members Show

I am honoured to be accepted into the Leighton Art Centres 19th Annual Juried Members Show with 69 other amazing local artists. With 102 pieces by 69 artists selected from over 300 submissions, this 19th annual celebration of local member artists is going to be a fresh and exciting visual treat.

I always enjoy this event and meeting everyone in person, but this is the year of “Surrender” and being open to something different… So, I invite you to virtually view the exhibition from the comfort of your home.
If the art looks good in a photo it will look more AMAZING in person.

Beginning April 24 @10am-June 6 @ 4pm, you can view the catalogue from the convenience of your home.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the exhibition!

Enjoy the exhibit catalogue here!

In creative spirit,
