I read about the most abominable events every morning – headlines only. Unfortunately, what I find is a world, mostly run by and ruined by rich selfish criminals. I turn away from despair, seek comfort and connection, starting with the love of my life Maureen. She has an orange and then we have a very good cup of cappuccino. Then, …
One of our many human gifts is the right to change one’s mind. Today it is this way, tomorrow that way. I have a long history of Trump-worry. In March of 2017, I made a piece thinking of him. I worried: not sure of my stance. I changed my mind, but it took 7 years to add it to my blog. It is called …

We have seen spring arrive in Lonsdale for 43 years, and each time we pinch ourselves to see if it is real. There always is something new to look at. …
This is an invitation to you. I am having an exhibition of porcelain at the David Kaye Gallery in Toronto. The exhibition is called Table Talk. I have always cared about what kind of porcelain people put on their tables, over their tables and on the walls near the table. The show is about what happens to my celadon glaze …
If you live in Ontario, and endured February, you also had to endure a lot of winter complaining. You will not get that from me. Winter for me is a time to get some work done. For the past few weeks, I have been hauling small canvasses over to the house, working up a drawing and then going back to …
