Love Horn workshop

Today the grade 3/4 students at Hawthorne school invited me in to lead a Lovehorn workshop. Shoeboxes, glue, magazines, paint and a little round horn came together in 22 different ways. We gathered at the end to give a short artist talk about the work and then finished off with this short composition of musical madness.

Philanthropy

Family SOS Courage to Give Back awards.

I brought my latest halifax Painting to the Cunard Centre for the live auction to help raise money for Family SOS. The painting was auctioned off after my little speech about the painting being part of a circle of support - buy the painting, help SOS, help kids, help families, communities and city, turn into a colorful city painting.....

The painting helped to raise almost $3000! and we had a ball..
