How long have you been involved with the Kamloops Arts Council? Since 2003.

Why did you get involved? Because I am an artist, and I was involved in the arts council in Ladner before I moved to Kamloops.

Tell us about your artwork: Mostly acrylic paintings – landscapes, buildings, and doors etc. I travel a lot and enjoy taking pictures for when I come home to paint them.

What are you looking forward to this upcoming year? A special show or project you’re working on? Nothing upcoming this year, but in the past I displayed at the Cunliffe House with the Kamloops Arts Council, as well as the Wilson House Gallery and the Main Gallery. I love art and enjoy painting for the sake of painting.

What would you say to someone who’s considering becoming a member with the Kamloops Arts Council? The Arts Council has helped me promote my work and receive excellent exposure. So go for it.
