I am very happy to announce that my painting “Do Not Disturb” will be part of the 2020 Animalis exhibition.
My painting is depicting a cat, sitting on the stone steps on a cool February afternoon in Valletta, Malta. This is not my cat, it is a street cat, but it had a really powerful attitude and was fearless. I felt a great connection with that personality so here it is, a cat called: Do Not Disturb! I have never had a pet cat nor will I ever have one, but cats often approach me so I will probably paint cats again.
I have produced a video last week for Arts Matter Online, organized by Penticton and District Community Arts Council. This video is supported by Penticton & District Community Arts Council, Province of BC, Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, Canada Helps, Gore Mutual, and generous community sponsors

The 2020 Social Distancing Exhibition is a testament to the power of the visual arts and it’s inherent ability to bring people together, even when they are forced to be physically and socially distant. Featuring 292 pieces by international artists, enjoy the exhibition here. Online from April 10th – April 30th
My painting, One Strawberry Away, is part of this exhibition and is available for sale through Federation Gallery.
This painting is inspired by the latest imposed trend of social distancing. Unnaturally organized, line up of strawberries, with middle one surgically cut, to emphasize the unnaturally sterile order of things during quarantine. Lines and order in one completely paranoid state are interrupted with playful shadows disturbing the imposed “order”. On a more practical note, strawberries are very healthy and will boost your natural defences. Please enjoy, have a strawberry, or maybe two and a half.
