Accordion Player - Trace Monotype Print


 New Artwork 
I am fortunate
to be able to show my art work.
In the last month,
I had a show
at the Art Lab in Parrsboro, NS,
and at the Fraser Cultural Centre in Tatamagouche, NS.
Parrsboro,
is creating,
or is,
a creative hub in Nova Scotia.
Not only,
do they have
the Ships Company Theater in their community,
they also,
as I understand it are attracting artist 
to emerge into their community
through teaching their skill to others,
or however they see fit being part of this
hub. 
The long term plan,
again as I understand it, is to attract  a lot of 
creative people to live and work in Parrsboro. 
What a wonderful idea!

My partner Mary
and I have taken part in some
of the activities going on in Parrsboro.
I can say,
not only is the Parrsboro surrounded by a wonderful landscape,
it is also 
inhabited by wonderful people. 

I have
become a member of the Art Lab
and had my first show there
however,
I was wondering
how the opening would be going
not knowing anybody.

I had nothing to worry about. 
Some of the Pugwash Art Collective
came and supported my venture - how wonderful! 
And I also
was received by the Parrsboro artists
with open arms.
They definitely
put their money where their mouth is
and make artists feel very welcomed. 

This is the website of the Parrsboro Creative worth checking out
