À propos
Painting gives me the language to explain what I love about the world. While it began as something I do for myself, it brings my life meaning to share my observations with others. By using a paint brush I’m able to communicate to the world what I think is important about life.
I paint from real life where my images are recognizable, but don’t adhere strictly to the rules of realism. My creative process involves working from photos I’ve taken of the people and places close to me, and the places I’ve been. Finding quiet beauty in local scenes, moments in my life, are all equally inspiring as the faraway places I’ve travelled. My representational oil paintings are a celebration of life!

Organisateur
Elora Fergus Studio Tour
For nearly 40 years, a dedicated and well-structured volunteer group made up of participating artists has successfully organized this annual event. At the heart of the Elora Fergus Studio Tour is a strong spirit of community collaboration. We work closely with local businesses throughout Elora and Fergus to secure sponsorships, advertising support, brochure distribution, printing, signage production, and promotional partnerships that help strengthen both the tour and the local economy. These valued relationships, combined with outreach through social media and local media outlets, allow us to promote the tour effectively and cost-efficiently each year.
A key partner in the success of the tour is the Elora Centre for the Arts, which hosts our main gallery exhibition and serves as an important cultural hub for both artists and visitors. Together with the support of local businesses and community organizations, the Elora Fergus Studio Tour has established itself as one of Canada’s premier artist studio tours, known for its professionalism, artistic excellence, and strong community connections.
