This is Remembrance season. 

As I remember, I paint poppies - and give thanks for those who served and continue to serve.

Isolation Series: Grey Owl

"Grey Owl"
11x14" mixed media on paper

On a recent forest walk with friends we happened upon a great grey owl perched on a fallen tree. We stopped to observe this very unusual sighting. Here was a magnificent member of the Order of Strigiformes. Owl watched us, four members of the Order of Homo sapiens. Upon reflection, I couldn’t help but ponder the words I’ve read and heard surrounding Owls, their associations with wisdom, truth, guardianship, leadership, silence, and vigilance, not to mention the significance of sightings. And in keeping with many of my encounters with creatures during this covid season I couldn’t help but think how a chance encounter with the great grey owl becomes a reminder to live up to my Orders’ distinction of being sapient - Latin: for being wise, especially in this season of frustration and fear of the unknown. 

An Invitation to "DUENDE"

Art Show Invite

After a postponement due to Covid19, our group show is finally happening! 🙌 Friday at Arts Underground in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, you can view the wonderful work of four gifted women.

Unfortunately, due to Covid, this is the first group show I won't be attending in person, however 24 paintings of mine are being featured. The show focuses on the spirit of evocation, which the spanish word Duende implies. What is it that moves a person to cry when observing a sunset, or to sense wonder when surrounded by mountains? As artists, this call and response compels us to recreate those sensations; playfully, moodily, outrageously, and texturally. We invite you the viewer to enter in to the spirit with us.

The show opens November 6th and runs through to November 28th.
