At the beginning of April I had the pleasure of returning to speak to the Markham Group of Artists. 

My talk, entitled 'Subject to Limitation', was about the origins and experimental nature of my process, and then tracked the history of one idea: how it was born, developed and grew into many branches and forms over the course of years.

Although it was just a talk (with slides) it felt action-packed! 

Loads of good questions came from the packed audience, and I took along a couple of pieces for everyone to get up close to and touch at the end. I'm a tactile person myself so I always appreciate being able to touch or poke something, even with gloves on.

Many thanks to the Markham Group for their warmth and enthusiasm, and to Linda Walesch for the photographs (and Sharon Kirsh for one photo).

Last Friday I was a guest on Michael Charbon's talk show Night Time, showing and talking about my art and, strangely enough, defining the word 'diaphanous'. 

It was very exciting and a little nerve-wracking, but I knew I hadn't done too badly when he invited me to stay on until the end of the show instead of leaving after my segment as is usual.

If you subscribe to Rogers Cable TV, the program runs tonight (and will repeat a few times) at 10pm, on the Mississauga version of Rogers Community Television.

I'll be watching it tonight and hope I won't be mortified by how I come across. If I'm wearing a bag on my head the next time you see me, you'll know it didn't go well!

I will post an update here with some photos of the experience when I get them from the photographer. Very soon I hope! In the meantime, here's a selfie I shot on my return home, to show the professional hair and makeup (thanks to my multi-talented niece-in-law Bailey Evering!).
