Le Papillon On The Park is a delicious Quebecois restaurant in Leslieville, and lucky for me, conveniently located five minutes from my house. I’ve been there a number of times and the entire experience is definitely something to write home about. (Not to mention: they’re Toronto’s original creperie! They have their own rooftop garden! … That last one is particularly impressive if you ask me).  The food is spectacular, the service is genuine, and its not too fancy, so its my kind of spot.

Max MacDonald has been showing his work in the sprawling dining room at Le Papillon since they opened a few years ago, but recently they decided to mix things up and have invited me to share the walls with him. Max is an incredibly talented, multi-faceted artist and I’m so lucky to have met him, let alone be showing alongside his amazing work. Right now I have eight pieces scattered around the dining room, but in the coming weeks and months I’ll be switching things up and adding some more recent work as it gets freed up from other galleries and spaces. I am really, really excited about this opportunity, a public place to house my work. The Bigués are so unbelievably supportive of local artists, I could not find a better environment if I tried. If in the next little while you’re looking to see my stuff in person, this is the place to do that (and eat some gourmet poutine).

Here’s a peak at the restaurant after we got together this week to hang the work.
