Artist Statement:

I live in Old North, home to some of the most beautiful trees in our “Forest City”. When I moved back to London from Toronto over 12 years ago, I started drawing the trees that I would see on my daily walks and I haven’t stopped. So much to see and to appreciate. I notice new details every day. The subject is endlessly fascinating.

Vintage wines behind these works are Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages (France, 2018, $18) and the one special bottle, Chateau Giscours Margaux (France, 2015, $195). Many thanks to Ron and Susan Holliday for donating the wine, and also to Anonymous for donating 2 of vintage bottles In Honour of Rob O’Dowda’s Birthday!
