Although I promote Garden Art by Sandy through local art shows, my most preferred way to greet people is at my studio in Bobcaygeon. When you visit me at my homestead, you get to experience my artwork in its natural setting while you wander through the gardens and woodland sculpture trail. This is not only a pleasant and relaxing experience, it helps you with perspective and choosing the right piece for the right setting in your own space. When you visit, I will usually greet you from my outdoor work bench, sometimes in full welding gear! Visit my website to see a virtual studio tour and updates on shows and studio events. Watch for Victoria County Studio Tour on September 25-26 and October 2-3 and 5th Annual Christmas Show, dates to be advised.
