On Sat. November 27th, 2010, I participated in painting for charity (The Community Food Drive) at Markville Mall. Large canvases were set up for painting and later made into boxes that woulld hold donated food items. Lots of people turned up and all had a blast! Organized by "Paintlounge" it was a great event.

I was surprised to find out today, that I have been chosen by the show visitors as the most favourite artist at the show! There were 600 votes, all together, (30 artists), so I feel it's quite an honour to be chosen as number 1.

Thank you to all of you who supported me one way or anothother, it means a lot and I truly appreciate you and all the good comments I got.

The show has moved to a new location - Main Street, Unionville.

It's a smaller space at the "Mill" but cozy and bright with a fabulous selection of original art by local artists. The front entrance facing Main Street makes it easily accessible and seen by people walking by. Timing is also very good as the Unionville festival will be on the weekend of 5th -6th. The street will be filled with musicians and people happily browsing in the festive atmosphere. The good weather will also help...

It was my first time exhibiting at the Heintzman House, and I was impressed with how well organized the show was.  The VIP reception on friday evening was great. People arriving to the front entrance of the beautiful historical house were greeted by mounties and volunteers. Throughout the evening,  wine and snacks were served and classical music was played by live entertainers The Mayor of Markham and Mp's were present and had some encouraging words for the crowd..
