At the Center, Winter/Spring 2025

 "A Period of Time: Patrick Luber 2005-2025." An extraordinary exhibition that I'm proud to present to the Waterloo community.

November 2024

 Some changes in my home: new art, healthy flora, bright light, and a cornucopia. Autumn into Winter 2024.

 

I managed the WCA's Holiday Arts Festival this year. Such fun, so intense, with 42 artists and around 1,200 attendees. The WCA Marketing Team designed the owl. The middle right image is by Diane Ebert.

 

 The WCA pumpkin entry for the city's contest is based on Arthur Geisert's Pigaroons children's book. It's Elizabeth Andrews- and Erin Donati-made.

Halloween 2024

Spooky, delicious! Halloween dinner at Jameson's Irish Pub in Waterloo: a pub smash-burger, house chips, and a hearty milk stout.
