Marriage is like a Painting. They are both created with time, patience, love, and respect. When there are successes we celebrate and appreciate the positive feelings. Both continuously evolve and sometimes even have ugly, unhappy moments. We don't stop there but continue on letting the changes resonate within us.

Canadian Unity
My family is the perfect example of what it means to be Canadian — with one son-in-law Vietnamese/Chinese, the other Guyanese and a Polish
daughter-in-law.
By 2031, one in three Canadians will belong to a visible minority. One in four will be foreign-born, the highest proportion since the end of the last wave of mass immigration that began around 1910. -Statscan, 2015
25 years ago cities like Toronto were no longer majority British, giving the way to the dominant population of the Italians and the Pole (part of the non-visible minority European-origin population.)
Now, we're moving away from a population dominated by people of a European background. Over the next two decades South Asians, those with origins in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, will make up the largest visible minority group at about 28 per cent of the whole population of Canada.

Grandma’s youngest sister, Lilian use to visit Vancouver and when she did she brought fun and adventure with her! In this painting, Aunt Lilian has taken my mother Susan, and her sister Barbara to Spanish Banks for a day in the sun and sand. They would have traveled by streetcar from Marpole to the beach.
Looking at this picture now, I wonder if they would have wanted their future told to them. Their lives led to mine. Family histories are so many stories! During Vancouver’s Spring of Covid19, I have been looking back at Family Pictures. I can with the turning of a page travel by decades. Lately, I have been working on a series of paintings that portray the common lives of my family. The relationship between me the artist, you the viewer, and the painting is a powerful synergy of thoughts and memories. I have purposely distorted the realism of old photos by using fragments of colours, marks, and patterns to capture the ebbing and flow of Time as it changes.
