I paint landscape and seascape scenes in pastels, oils and pencil. I paint scenes found around my home and throughout our beautiful province. I have an impressionistic, painterly style with a tendancy towards bright colours and bold mark making. My art is an expression of my faith and love for nature. I am represented by Art & Jules Gallery, Barrington St., Halifax, NS., member of Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) and Lunenburg Art Gallery. Commissions accepted and studio visits by appointment. {body} Arts and Crafts 2010-08-11T13:07:20+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/desbrisay-museum/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/desbrisay-museum/#When:18:18:23Z 130 Jubilee Road Bridgewater, NS Open Year Round Summer Hours: Monday-Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm Sunday, 1:00pm-5:00pm DesBrisay Museum is one of the oldest community history museums in Canada, consisting of a permanent Heritage Gallery, a changing Community Exhibit Centre, Visible Storage and Folk Art Gallery, Research Centre, and Gift Shop.  In its back yard are a duck pond, walking trails, and grassy parkland!

Established in 1969, The Ross Farm Museum is located on highway #12 in New Ross, Nova Scotia, just 15 minutes from the Lighthouse route, or 25 minutes from the Gloosecap trail. Our Museum is a living, working, farm museum depicting 150 years of agriculture in Nova Scotia. We are a single family upland farm on land originally granted to Captain William Ross. Ross Farm Museum is still being farmed with Oxen, the way it was in the late 1800’s. In Rosebank Cottage, the original home of the Ross family built in 1817, you may see food being prepared over an open fire, straw hats being woven, wool or flax being spun, butter being churned, or many other skills being demonstrated that were daily chores for our forefathers, but are now almost lost. We have a working blacksmith shop where hardware is produced for the farm, as well we shoe approximately 60 pairs of oxen each year. There is also a working stave mill and cooperage producing barrels, the original workshop where products such as butter churns, spoons, buckets and even snow shoes are made, you might have a chance to take part in a class in our one room school. During your visit to Lunenburg County, have a stop by Ross Farm Museum it’s definitely worth a visit and it will provide you an opportunity to experience ”An Adventure in Rural Living”. {body} Kid Friendly, Museum 2010-07-21T12:51:23+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/wile-carding-mill/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/wile-carding-mill/#When:12:12:46Z 242 Victoria Road Bridgewater, NS Open June through September Monday-Saturday, 9:30am-5:30pm Sunday, 1:30-5:30pm Wile Carding Mill is the only survivor of an early industrial park that included seven small workplaces. From 1860 to 1968, this water-powered mill lightened the workload for Nova Scotian farm families by carding a week’s worth of wool in one hour! See the very machine that revolutionized carding in the area and imagine the clatter as it prepared wool for bedding and spinning. Step outside and picture the line of ox carts that would wait patiently as women operators processed loads of sheep fleece. Wile Carding Mill’s overshot waterwheel still turns in its tranquil setting on Sandy Brook, a reminder of a once vibrant industrial centre.  {body} Kid Friendly, Museum 2010-07-21T12:12:46+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/indian-point-marine-farms/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/indian-point-marine-farms/#When:12:46:59Z Indian Point Marine Farms Ltd. has been growing mussels in the waters of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia since 1982.
