Description

Presently I am working on an exhibition for the Grimsby Public Art Gallery December 14, 2013. We have worked together on a vineyard theme. The agricultural heritage of the Niagara peninsula is of particular interest to the gallery following the celebrations this year to mark the 200 years since the War of 1812. I have taken the opportunity to intorduce the idea with my entry for the Burlington Art Centre Auction this year, French Trug #2. Reading extensively and visiting museums on the history of wine making traditions and techniques has given me insight into the importance of wine as a trade commodity from the beginning of time.
