Ontario Travels







A Summer & Fall Road Travel
It all started with a visit to Tamworth Ontario to take care of the beautiful Design Studio at
Bon Eco Design. Hans and Carolyn had a trip to the U.S. to visit Burning Man Festivities.
So for a month I held down the fort. Worked on my MTL 2012 exhibit and had lots of visitors. After the month past before I knew it, I was part of the fam and was asked to work side by side with the very talented and experienced Hans Honegger. Using my Photoshop skills (panoramic stitching, restoration, reconstruction) and his restoration and design talents we took on a large project for the Perley block in Woseley, SK.

Drafting/Brainstorming

My setting at Bon Eco Design in Tamworth Ontario

So between the road trekking, Bon Echo, Charleston Lake, Sharbot's Lake, Sandbanks and many other provincial park, The Haliburton Highlands and the Land O' Lakes, the exhibit assembly and the beautiful setting of rural Ontario. I had a beautiful visual experience. Came home with a bag full of images, new design tricks, new Photoshop projects and experience. Here are some of my favourite images from this trek.

Hirundininae: Ruelle Verte

On October 6th 2023 in Windsor Ontario during Free for All Walls… I went down with a heart attack all while I was painting a Mural. After 6 weeks of recovery with many ups and downs both physically and mentally. I pulled myself together, made a deal with myself that life on the other side of this episode can only get better. My goal: come back better and stronger. Allowing everything to take its time and leaving myself open to continue exploring my creativity. Yesterday for the first time since Windsor I painted a Mural. With the amazing help from the best team mate, friends and talented hand  @jshantzart  Jeremy I can’t thank you enough for giving me the confidence to jump back on the horse. Push my style even further and continually being a positive and understanding human. Your the best.

Three years later, Jamie’s leaving the education department of the National Gallery of Canada. Changes have come to the department, and I must move on. Today was my last day. I’m sad it happened this way. I had three great years here. Giving guided tours, in community workshops, studio workshops and kiosks for ALL age groups. This environment has pushed me to get back to many art forms I had forgotten; Silk Screening, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpting and pretty much anything else you can think of in the visual art world. Worked with some amazing people, experienced some world class art first hand, but now it’s time. Much love to all of you, I learned so much in such a little time. images courtesy of Staff, Rebecca Miller & MIV Photography for the National Gallery of Canada
