Orillia Museum of Art and History

January-April 2024

A welcome sign that features the word OMAH and several renditions of paintings in chalk on a blackboard.

This is my biggest show so far! A total of 27 pieces, plus 27 tactile replicas, and of course the audio players – this took a long time to prepare.

It took me about 4 years to do all of the work, but it was well worth it. We also designed the audio players for this show, including making circuit boards and 3D printed cases. Then we moved to New Brunswick shortly before the show opened, so I had to manage the logistics of storing the paintings and returning to set up. And during this time, I was fortunate enough to be the subject of a documentary covering the show as well as the work I do to promote accessibility. It was a busy time for sure…

I learned a lot, it was a successful show and it was all very productive!
