When November dayz are dreary, cold, and getting darker, all we need is a bit 'o Kaleidopscope Art to cheer us up. Here's what I'm up to this month:

Vernissage Friday November 6 / 7 - 10pm
Ottawa curator Missy Marston-Shmelzer has invited artists to find their happy place. “This show is the result of an open call to artists to produce work, in the medium of their choice, that represents a perfect world, a place of dreams, where anything is possible. Invented landscapes, creatures, or machinery, and the participation of both the living and dead were encouraged.” www.lapetitemortgallery.com/
