I've just had a wonderful full color reproduction of my most recent painting (#8, Sunnyside Series) appear in today's (Jan. 7th 2010) edition of Whistler's Weekly Newsmagazine "Pique" in the Art Galleries & Exhibitions section. Accompanying the photo is a short description about me and that my work can be seen in Whistler at the Art Junction Gallery. Gallery owner Harvey Lim and I were both very happy to see such a large, color reproduction in Whistler's premier newspaper. This exposure has already generated a lot of hits to my website. The Sunnyside series itself is definately proving to be the most popular series that I have created to date with a growing list of interested buyers at the Art junction Gallery in Whistler, the Grey Area Gallery in Chilliwack and online. I'm excited to see where this series takes me next. Stay tuned.

To checkout the Pique online visit www.piquenewsmagazine.com . (Unfortunately the Art Galleries & Exhibition section does not appear online) To find out where you can pick up a copy visit the "Connect" section at the bottom of their homepage.
