''Destroyers'' are visiting the Chaudière-Appalache region of Québec. Centre d'exposition Moulin la Lorraine, a restored ( and still functioning!) mill provides an intriquing context for these works.

I was recently featured in the in the Montreal Guardian. Thank you for the interview, Emila Semancik. Here is a link to the publication. https://montrealguardian.com/montreal-artist-mary-hayes/
The Galerie d'Outremont is hosting a body of my work called Destroyers from November 5 2022 until January 8th 2023.
“Destroyers” is derisive term sometimes used for children, used in this context - mockingly – to refer to society's fascination, fear of youth and youth culture. This body of work is the latest of a lifelong collaboration with the younger members of my immediate and extended family. Gesture and facial expression are exploited as a means to express the individual's personal journey within the greater context of society at large.
Les Poissons d'Avril ( "April Fish", the French language version of April Fool's) group exhibition is on view at Gallery Le Viaduc until April 7th. I am showing my recent upcycled painting "Greeting" along side many other works of art celebrating spring and all things fishy.
(Here's a snapshot)
First of all, I would like to wish to wish you a happy, healthy 2019! I would also like to share with you what I have been up to so far this year:
I have installed 15 paintings - some brand, spankyin new and some a litttle less recent - at the Centaur Theatre gallery for the month of January. This is in conjunction with Centaur Theatre's Wildside Festival - a curated selection of Montreal Fringe Festival 2018 - and True Crime, written and performed by Indy band "Stars" frontman Torquil Campbell.
I will be having a vernissage next Friday, January 18th from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. My work will be on view until the end of January. The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday from noon til 9 pm.
