Overdue Post: Open House (August 23) and Update

Among the craziness of making the big move to Winnipeg, I completely forgot to write a post about the wonderful Open House event which my parents hosted at their townhouse! It was a lot of hard work but thanks to my parent's passion and enthusiasm they were able to put together a wonderful day of art, family, and friends. My mom prepared an amazing arrangement of summer appetizers (with the help of Jillian and I) and desserts. Together my mom and dad both helped with the visual display and installation of my works all around the townhouse and even in the backyard. It really was spectacular! I am so thankful for everyone that was able to make it and come say their farewells before I headed off. The whole thing was so eventful that we forgot to take pictures of everyone who showed up! However, if you were unable to make it here's some of what you missed:

Things are going well in Winnipeg, again thanks to the support of my family here in town! I'm working hard in my studio almost every day whether it's painting, reading, or research. My studio space at the school is amazing and I can't wait to share it with all of you! Stay tuned for a post including a video showing the making of my newest mural!
