Her present focus these days is in preparing figurative and landscape paintings for gallery sales. A long ‘set-aside’ interest in printmaking has been renewed with a portion of the studio set up to house her two presses. In the tradition of the classic European ‘atelier’, artists may schedule to work alongside Perri, or join her in plein-air excursions. She leads an international painting workshop every other year in Europe, and is taking a group to Vienna in June 2009.

Two highlights this spring included a commission from PrismaColor (formerly Grumbacher, now owned by Sanford) to create a painting to be used for the packaging and promotion of a line of portrait pastels. The second was being selected by the Federation of Canadian Artists to join the ranks of 'Senior Signature' status, allowing her to add SFCA to her name and membrship to an exclusive group of very distinguished artists. She was truly honored!

She has two Video/DVD’s on portraiture in pastel and oil (see Video section to order), and currently shows her work at the Cordair Gallery (www.cordair.com) in Napa, California and at Legacy Portraits in Plano, TX; Impressions Gallery in Campbell River, BC; and the DRAW Gallery, Sidelines, and Quadra Crafts on Quadra Island, BC.
