It’s my last event of the year- good ol’ Nanaimo ArtWalk! I’ll be haunting the atrium of the Harbourfront Library once again, along with a couple of other fantastic artists, this Saturday and Sunday.
And I have a new illustration from my “Tales From Ænim” to showcase!

Next and FINAL show of the year is coming up:
Nanaimo’s very own 2025 ArtWalk! I’ll be setting up shop in the Harbourfront Library, so ye all can come find me there and say hello!
