So grateful for this week and all that went on. I had the honour of being awarded Signature Status by the Federation of Canadian Artists and we took a quick trip to Vancouver to visit the Federation gallery, meet some amazing artists, and see their incredible work. I'm feeling very fortunate to be included at this level of such a distinguished association.

I can't say enough about the FCA and the supportive, hard working staff & volunteers. Their goal is to raise artistic standards by stimulating artists to reach greater heights of knowledge and achievement. I have found that the challenges they offer drive you to continually try new subject matter, broaden skills, and sell work to a international audience.
