Everything from the velvet curtain to the secret rooms we could only peer into as voyeurs, to the ghost like figures and creatures.... I felt like a 6 year old.. kind of the feelings I used to get when I was being told a ghost story around a campfire, or eavesdropping on a grown up, or going to a circus... all rolled up in one ! You are amazingly talented and I hope you continue to make wonderful and erie art forever!

I saw your exhibit today at the National Gallery of Canada here in Ottawa. Words cannot accurately describe it. What a mystical experience it was, both enchanting and unnerving. The life-sized installations gave me the feeling I was in the company of ghosts. I didn't want to leave the gallery! Thank you for a wonderful experience. I look most forward to your future exhibits.

It completely freaked me out and intrigued me like no exhibit ever has. Loved it. I'll be back again before it's gone. Thank-you so much for sharing your talent.

I saw your exhibit and the many mentions of Lethbridge. It was amazing. And it made me proud to be from Lethbridge. I went to the National Gallery last week while I was on business.
