Small Gems Show
…at WAAC
Every year Women’s Art hosts The Small Gems Show. Members are called upon to submit up to three small pieces that are no more than $400.00 each. This year 47 members participated.
On Saturday I attended the opening reception and took photos of the show.
If you’re in Toronto come down and check out this show. It runs till Jan. 10, 2026 and if you want an original Christmas gift you can take it with you on the day you make the purchase.
Finding ‘Joy’ in a Pop-up Show
….sometimes shows get cancelled so members are asked to step up
Yesterday I dropped off three pieces of my work to the Women’s Art Association of Canada. The show that had been scheduled to go up this week dropped out and instead of leaving the gallery empty a last minute call was made to members to bring in up to three pieces of work to fill the gallery.
Yesterday after I dropped off my work I also volunteered to stay and help hang the show. Apart from hanging my solo shows, I haven’t been able to do this in almost a year and I really missed the challenge of working with other artists towards a common goal. Not only is the show called ‘Joy’ but it also brought me a great deal of joy working with these wonderful women.
My contributions were three pieces from my solo show that give me much joy.
Shadows Cast by Art
…today I helped install a pop-up show at WAAC

Enjoying a Day at WAAC
…taking in two great shows
The first show featured indigenous artists. It is called REDefined: voices from Turtle Island. Here are a few of my favourite pieces.
The second show was in the Ruth Upjohn Gallery where Kate Greenway featured her beautiful watercolours.
Last Days of My Show
Generally most sales if not all are made in the first week of a show. I hoped to sell one more paintings or photographs in the last two days and much to surprise I sold a photograph in the first hour today and a painting in the last hour plus a few more cards.
One of the best parts of these shows is getting together with family and friends, reconnecting with acquaintances from my past and meeting new people. Yesterday I met two new artists who I hope I can keep in touch with. Today friends who have never seen my work came to the show and two of them completely surprised me when they walked through the door in the last half hour.
Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout my art journey and a special thanks to Rod for helping me set up the show, Kevin who spent three days with me at the gallery and Frieda who helped me take down the show.
A Walk Through the Gallery
….at WAAC
It was a beautiful day. We had the doors wide open at the gallery waiting for my guests and the public to arrive. The wine was chilling and my hostess, Mary had prepared the platters of sweets and nibbles. Here is a quick tour of the gallery.
The afternoon started out slowly but my guests started to arrive and the wine started to flow. The public also started to come through the doors. It was wonderful catching up with friends and family and I loved meeting new people. My cards were a big hit and several paintings and photographs sold. Here is where I was able to add red dots.
