Former Ontario superior court judge Kevin Whitaker turned to full-time painting after a diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia. In just five years, he has had 10 shows and, with the help of his partner Marie Moliner, raised more than $200,000 for dementia research and supports. His 10th show is now at Back Lane Studios, 9 Neepawa Ave., in Roncesvalles Village, open Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 3:00pm until Dec. 3, 2023. He has called this latest and possibly last show "Defying the Dictator." Ironically, Kevin, following his diagnosis, called the first large-scale painting he made "The Dictator." Now he and Marie have come to realize as the disease has tightened its grip that "The Dictator" is dementia. The film, directed by Back Lane instructors Jeana McCabe and Jordan McTavish, has been featured in four film festivals.
