Group show participation has been predominantly thru juried art competitions notably Gallery Lambton’s annual Look Show, an open call to multi-media artists of southwestern Ontario and north east Michigan, sort of a border cultural exchange. In 2000 both landscape paintings entered were accepted with one taking first place win. This win from my home town was energizing to my fine art passion and perhaps gave a self-taught painter some validation, shortly after was invited to have an exhibit of my work at Gallery in the Grove,Bright’s Grove. A tip of the hat to Mrs H.Berger for her support. I never will forget my first show and the friends and family that came out to the opening to support me on that warm summer day. All because I entered some paintings in a contest to see if anything would happen.
