Peace to all,
I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to check out my website, my art, attended shows and very importantly, bought my work this past year.
You have all inspired me to go deeper into my love of painting and drawing and I will return next year with some new art and new music for you.
Have a safe and enjoyable New Year and I wish the best to you always!

I'd just like to say peace to everyone that attended both of my events during saturday night's Nuit Blanche. First I'd like to thank Joan Butterfield and all of the great artists of the AACA that were in attendance at Empire Restaurant. It's always a pleasure to show work along with this talented group.
Secondly, I'd like to send a special shout out to everyone that partied with us at The Parkdale Drink. I had an amazing experience doing my first live paintings. Peace to everyone that came and said "Hello" and those that picked up a print or t-shirt. Much respect due.
I'll post pics of the events soon.

Peace,

I've received word that I will be taking part in Toronto's all night art party, Nuit Blanche on Oct. 3.
I will be showing at Empire Restaurant (50 Cumberland St. between Bay & Yonge) as part of the AACA's COLOURblind! art exhibit. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to show alongside my brothers and sisters in the Association again, as well as sharing some new work with the public.

Later that night I'll also be doing a live painting at The Parkdale Drink (1292 Queen St. W) until what we Antiguans call "'fore day morning" or the early morning hours.
Please come down to either event or both events, have a couple drinks, appreciate and perhaps purchase some new work. It's an incredible night to enjoy the city and the arts and culture that is helping us define it.

Peace, I want to thank everyone for their support during the "Beyond the Rhythm" exhibit. Special shout out to all of the artists involved, the curator, Joan Butterfield and everyone that went to the ROM to see the exhibit for a second and third time.

I also would like to thank the CBC for their ongoing support of my work. I was blessed enough to not only appear on "The Scene" but to also have my biography air on CBC RadioOne's, "Big City, Small World".As well I was mentioned in a couple of Toronto based article's -http://www.cbc.ca/toronto/features/caribana2009/2009/07/going_beyond_the_rhythm.html

Peace, I apologize for the delay between posts but I've been taking a much needed break as well as preparing the concepts for my '09 work.

In the meanwhile, I was invited to participate in a group show titled, "A Black & White Affair" curated by Josh Glover at Sleeping Giant Gallery. Here are a few photos from the opening...
