"I'm very pleased to have added two of your paintings to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority's corporate collection. They are now hanging in the Terminal 3 Distinguished Visitors Lounge, which is used for executive meetings as well as to welcome heads of state, high ranking politicians and religious leaders. It can also be used to accommodate families if there is a crisis. I'm so glad that the room is enlivened by work from a Toronto artist."
