On April 9th, 2021, we bid farewell to June Newton as she joins her love Helmut on the other side. She radiated with kindness, but well know for her ‘to the point’ demeanour. When I visited openings at the Helmut Newton Foundation I would leave a bottle of Port in her room at Berlin’s […]

I deeply appreciate and admire his work, particularly understanding his early life in Berlin in the 1930’s that undoubtedly influenced his approach to his photographs. Below is a collection of quotes that I transcribed from the latest documentary of his […]
The opening of The Power of Femininity in early March was a delightful evening of photographic art, music, wine, and conversation.
On the way home from launching my Lisbon exhibition “The Power of Femininity”, I was inspired to stop at London’s Atlas Gallery (www.Atlasgallery.com) for a rare exhibition of photographs by the Lillian Bassman (1917-2012).

Selected images from Lisbon Exhibition North South, East West by Curator Hilda Yasseri are now on display at Galeria Almada Negreiros in The Portuguese Consulate in Toronto through April 1, 2019.
Although I have exhibited my work in many beautiful galleries, I most often enjoy having my photographs available to view in an atypical space with some sense of life remaining after the vernissage wine glasses are put away. KASPACE is an experience. You can walk in and out, or gaze for hours. It is an atmosphere of appreciation […]
