• This is a new new website

    So please excuse the mess. After a very frustrating time of fighting a bad template that refused to keep its licence key and would lose its customizations, I almost gave up on having a website. WordPress templates can be great for the most part, but if the original coder decides to not update the template or not fix the bugs it can leave the end user with a site that doesn’t function. My lovely partner who codes for a living (but not website/ html coding) came to the rescue and designed this new website.

    The thing I am very excited about is being able to present my artwork in a fresh and exciting format. I will be adding artwork images as I edit them for this website. The website will have a few growing pains as we work out the kinks, like the contact form actually sending the emails to me. In the meantime if you want to contact me, use the icon links to my social media pages where you can DM me.

  • Heart Horses at Le Chenail

    This group exhibition of artwork with horses features local artists: Crystal Beshara, Susan Bohay, Susan Jephcott, Nathalie Frenière, Carol Lavigne and myself, Tina Petrovicz. “Heart horses are trusted, loving equine partners that foster deep emotional connections. They have been our partners for thousands of years, they inspire us, carry us, and heal us. Let us celebrate them in this year of the horse.”

    The exhibition opens April 1st, 2026 along with Le Chenail Cultural Centre’s 51st season launch. Join us for refreshments and cake from noon to 3pm.

  • Stories From Our Future

    OGPC at the Ottawa School Of Art ORLEANS GALLERY Jan 5th – Feb 22, 2026

    I am very excited to be participating in this group exhibition. I led this project with the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connection starting in January of 2025. I worked with an amazing group from development of the theme to forms and our final submission documents.

    STORIES FROM OUR FUTURE – “Twenty local printmakers share personal visions of what tomorrow might hold. Wish cautious optimism tinged with joy, these artists invite visitors to reflect on their own history and their vision of the future, knowing that today’s choices shape tomorrow.”

    Curated by OSA’s Cathy Brake this exhibition showcases a range of printmaking techniques in two-dimensional, three-dimensional and time-based works.

    Vernissage: Thursday January 8th, 5 – 7 PM OSAO Gallery, Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Blvd, Orléans, ON, K1E 0A1

  • Biennale de l’estampe – France

    I am super excited to be participating in my first international printmaking exhibition. The idea of an exhibition developed with part of online Francophone group of printmakers Parlons-Gravure. I had connected with the group as way to discuss printmaking, seeing other artist’s prints and showing my work to other artists. For this exhibition I worked hard to create a new technique of glazing my print in a variation of mixed viscosity inking that I will be showcasing. It is that regions first Biennale de l’estampe, exhibiting at the Centre des arts plastique in Fresne-sur-Escaute, France. The vernissage will take place Feb 28th and the exhibition will run until Mar 28, 2025.
