My father discovered his Artist Within when he was 66. After suffering three strokes, he had the happiest ten years of his life with exhibitions of his ‘chalks’ across the West, at Guelph and McMaster Universities, and in the Oakville Galleries. My mother shared his joy.

Because of Daddy, I invented ways of unlocking doors for all ages and stages that lets your Artist Within OUT!

JCHAC is really his legacy. He not only purchased this property, funded it, raised me, and set me free to study art, but he also made it possible for us to live and raise our sons on this historic land. It was only by accident that he jumped into my art classes and let his Artist Within OUT!
