Lets get you up to speed.

July--Travelled to Italy.  Saw the Venice Bienale, which was too much to take in in one go around.

Presented the "jouvert" paper at the Arts and Society Conference.  Good response, and lots of discussion. 

August and September spent in Dallas Texas--a totally cross cultural experience.  Will post studies that I did there on Dementia and Alzheimers.

October and November--in the studio painting.  The beauty of Morne Gozo with its yellow crown in November is still astounding.

Coming--November 27th--exhibit of paintings from Turkey in Grenada

February--Gallery of Caribbean Art in Barbados--Solo Exhibit

Lots more in the world to paint.
