My life as an artist is chock-full of perks.
One, I’ve been told, is that I don’t work.
At least that’s what my kids always say.
“Him? His head's in the clouds all day.”

I must admit my mind does drift.
If the truth be told, I rely on it
to stay in sync with the clouds floating by
as ideas take shape in my dreamy mind’s eye.

The grandeur of Nature. The human condition.
The corridors of power. War. Religion.
The near or far. The lowly or grand.
All are fair pickings for an artist’s hand.

It is honest work, this art engagé,
though to my kids it looks like play.
Art comes to life with imagination
​as one’s life becomes an artistic creation.
​

ARTSPLACE’s vision is to share stimulating work and strengthen artistic life in our region.
​Creating environments for art and arts practitioners to thrive is key to our work, as is supporting audiences in their growth, awareness, and excitement about art. 

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
​

The Annapolis Region Community Arts Council recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians.
