Farmers' markets across Grey are preparing to open for the 2018 season. With the exception of Owen Sound (which is open year-round) most markets will open in time for the Victoria Day weekend or shortly after, just in time for the first local harvests.
Hundreds of craftspeople producing whimsical, useful and beautiful things of all kinds make their homes in Grey County. Many open their home studios to visitors for special events and most sell year-round at local shops and galleries. Don't miss fall studio tours which take place at the height of fall colours.

My favorite subjects are the beautiful towns, valleys, farms and vistas of the Ontario landscape. Since my preferred subject is the land at a special moment, which lasts very briefly, I think my best paintings are created from plein air observation. The primary goal of my work is for it to portray the mood of the land; the universality of the land rather than one specific place.
