Hamilton Public Library supports local artists, artisans and organizations by providing free exhibition space.
I have been painting professionally for over 20 years. I paint what is around me: landscapes, swamps, cityscapes and more recently, the people close to me. I work in oil on wood panel or canvas, in a loose and expressive style. I am interested in painting a likeness, but not rendering every detail. By combining representation and abstraction, I hope to draw the viewer in and hold their interest.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
