Camelback Gallery’s Paint My Pet 2022 Juried Art Competition | June 2022

Pug-A-Lug | Watercolour


This juried competition centered around painting a beloved pet using the medium of our choice. I chose watercolour for its delicate, flowing quality and as a personal challenge, stepping away from my usual acrylics. I enjoy switching mediums when I feel the need to slow down and embrace a different creative rhythm.

Painting this sweet boy was especially meaningful to me. He belonged to a dear friend, and the joy my artwork brought her far outweighed any award I could have received.

Divine Strength | Mixed Media Acrylic

I stumbled upon this competition late in the game, I always seem to be late to the dance!   I entered on May 16, just under the wire! But I still managed to get myself to 4th place!  I am eager to win this competition for one reason only and that's to be able to present the NICU at Kingston General Hospital with the $25,000 donation prize.  My grandson Jack was born at 26 weeks and spent the first 99 days of his life in the NICU.  It's because of his amazing team, that Jack is a strong and healthy little boy.  ♥ I want to be able to give back as much as possible!

UPDATE:  Although a very close win, Divine Strength ended up in 4th place. Thank you to all that took the time to vote for me ♥

"Acceptance" | Wins Award of Merit 

This competition emphasized the power and impact of colour, and I was truly honored to receive this award!

Acceptance was built through many layers, each one contributing to the final expression of how challenging it can be to fully embrace ourselves.
