November 29 2025: I was interviewed for an upcoming Podcast. It should be available in the new year, I will post a link when it goes live.
November 2025: I just signed a contract with the Saint John Arts Centre (SJAC) for a major solo exhibition in the Port Saint John Gallery in November 2028. SJAC is in the beautiful Carnegie building right in historic uptown Saint John. Updates to follow.
Wood Buffalo: The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Fort McMurray, AB will be displaying 6 of my pieces (of course including tactile replicas and audio devices for each) in early December as part of their “Art for Social Change” show.
(Update 11/24/2025): Their website now has a post with details about the show.
Past Events:
I had 2 paintings and tactile replicas in “Sight Unseen (Challenging the Visual in Visual Arts)” at Zyp Art Gallery in Calmar, Alberta until July 2024.
After 4 years, my major show at OMAH in Orillia was a success! An Akimbo Article on the event can be found here.
The documentary about my work aired on AMI TV on May 16th, 2024. You can watch this here.
I was interviewed about the show by Kelly and Ramya on AMI TV on April 6th. The podcast audio is available on AMI’s web site. There is more to come from AMI, stay tuned for more news.
I was commissioned in 2023 to create an accessible metal tree for the Township of Oro-Medonte’s Art Trees (Art in Public Spaces project part 2). The tree reflects my experience of springtime in Oro-Medonte, and features tactile trilliums, marsh marigolds, and Jack-in-the-pulpit. The title “Spring in Oro-Medonte” is featured in Braille across the top of the sculpture, and a Braille description accompanies the work.
The sculpture was exhibited in the Chilton Gallery in Oro-Medonte for a year.
Streets Alive Productions: One of my favourite things to participate in was Orillia’s Streets Alive Productions. I made a “Whoville Tree” for the Christmas Season 2021, refreshed my “Tactile Sunflower Door”, and just displayed my Easter Egg for the Easter Season.
Sir Sam Society loan: One of OMAH’s Corporate Sponsor, Lake Country Physiotherapy, selected my painting, “North Shore”. Lake Country’s Chad Watters, OMAH’s Ninette Gyorody, and I hung the painting in the main hall at their Progress Drive location. (Edit: After the loan period, Chad purchased the painting)
One of my paintings was among the work auctioned off at an OMAH event at Hawkridge Golf club which helped to raise $25,000 for children’s programs and general operating expenses. Raffle winner Susan Waite is now the new owner of “Transference”.
It was a great evening! I really enjoyed meeting the guest speaker, Dr. Rita Shelton-Deverell – and supporting OMAH.
We have designed a system to allow patrons with low vision/blindness to experience each work by listening to audio descriptions. More detail here

Sir Sam’s Society Art Exchange Party November 2, 2018
October 2018 – Somniatis III Wearable Art Show
October 27 2018. 
Our Musical Universe show: The University of Toronto Planetarium created a new show geared to people with visual impairments (Our musical universe show for visually impaired). I was fortunate enough to attend a pre-release screening, and to work with the talented Matt Russo, who created it. He asked to use my painting “Myth” that was inspired by the show to use in promotional material. I was also interviewed about the show, and many news outlets have published the article. You can read it on local outlets like Orillia Matters site or Barrie Today as well as a number of national papers. This extraordinary show resonated with me because its use of alternate media to represent the visual world we live in aligns with my use of texture and form to represent how I experience the world.
