Spreading my wings and heading West

Divergence, one of the many works at the gallery.
It's always exciting when a gallery asks to represent my work, but when it's in an area I've been longing to show in, and as high caliber as The Avenue Gallery in Victoria, BC, Canada...well an artist can literally do the dance of joy.
So it's with great enthusiasm that I announce my inclusion in this fine gallery in the West. The Avenue Gallery is in Victoria, BC an area well known for it's local beauty and fine artists. My work will be keeping company with canvases from some of the best talent out there. The gallery shows the works of Renato Muccillo, Catherine Moffat, Brent Lynch and Deborah Tilby and even another den Hertog! That would be my cousin Michael whom I have met only once when we were small children and who's work I adore. Michael den Hertog makes abstract work that I find totally engaging and mysterious.

The staff at the gallery are enthusiastic and well informed, add that to the great location and a well appointed, inviting atmosphere and you really can't go wrong!
