After eight years with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, I have made the decision to conclude this chapter and pursue new opportunities. Thank you to all who have been part of this adventure—I am eager to remain an advocate for the culture of New Brunswick and Canada.

A lot of people in Ottawa are dunking on this art, but the one at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, when seen in person, was weirdly powerful and compelling.
