Support Local this Holiday Season

Well, it’s been a busy month. I first want to thank those who attended the Port Perry Artists Association Fall Show on November 11th and 12th. Your support is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to seeing you at the Spring show in June. Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise.

Christmas in Port Perry Ornaments

My “Christmas in Port Perry” ornament features the Rotary Gazebo and is a big seller. I have a limited stock of this design available at All Fit All Ages Gym in Port Perry. My ornaments make an amazing stocking stuffer!

1 for $25

2 for $45

3 for $60

You can stop by All Fit All Ages Gym in Port Perry to purchase in cash or secure your order by eTransfer to theartistwithin86@gmail.com

You can also purchase my ornament at “That Place on Queen St.” Thanks to Elizabeth and her support. Please stop by today to purchase yours! I also plan to work with a local business to create next year’s design. Stay tuned.

St. John’s Presbyterian Church Christmas Bake and Craft Sale

Join me on Saturday, December 16th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at St. John’s Presbyterian Church at 319 Queen Street. I’ll be selling my “Christmas in Port Perry” Christmas ornament and a few special treats, too.

Help support local by coming to this event and purchasing my ornament. Local vendors will be on site. From Baked items and local artisans, your contribution goes to help support those in your community. My thanks to St. John’s Presbyterian for hosting the event.

Thank you!

A sincere thank you to those who have supported me again this year. I look forward to sharing more work with you in 2024.

Now, to work on next year’s ornament design.

Happy painting!
