October Trail - SOLD

8x8 acrylic on cradled panel

Summer has come and gone. In its place an explosion of colour graces our landscape. So here's a little piece to celebrate walking in a riot of colour.

Poppy Uprising

2'x3' acrylic on cradled panel

A large work completed and submitted to the Alumni show at St. Lawrence College, Brockville. "SEEING RED".

Dreaming of Spring (SOLD)

Petite Fleurs
acrylic on 4x6 cradled panels

Spring is taking forever to arrive in Ontario! We take one step forward and two steps back. I take comfort from the arrival of the wild and wonderful geese and the ducks on the creek. But how I long for green and growing things... bright colours and warm breezes...and the chance to enjoy a patch of sunshine sitting outdoors, rather than in. It is coming - in the meantime I paint flowers.

December SOLD

SOLD 8x10 acrylic on canvas

A closer look at one of my pieces from the December show at Gallery 629 in Merrickville. Winter is one of my favourite seasons to express visually. Snowy mornings, misty light, sparkling whites, long shadows, light halos...all inspire! This is a scene looking out my back window onto a neighbours' property - a mystical moment to recreate.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2019! While my posts have been few and far between I have been very productive art-wise. September - December was incredibly full - art classes (mixed media), a solo art show, and then Christmas. Now that January is here I am catching my creative breath, setting a new studio rhythm, and looking ahead to a new year of expression.

Gallery 629 Solo Show 

 The Gallery is closed for the month of January but the online site is
available for browsing my work and that of the other gallery artists.

Christmas Show Invite

December is around the corner. My studio has been a hive of creative pursuit in readiness for this upcoming show. It's exciting - a first gallery show outside of the Yukon!
Ontario has provided lots of inspiration as I move forward: artist friends+ art classes = art community. The now familiar, local landscape, changing seasons, and the beauty of nature fuel my mind with ideas to explore and express. Ontario has become home.

Floriated

6x12 Acrylic on cradled gallery panel

Once again green and growing things hold my creative interest. I'm on a flower role again - poppies, no less! I'm continuously thinking up new ways to capture them.

Harvest Path

6x6 Oil on cradled panel

Spring is in full swing here. I'm gearing up for a gallery opening in June - details to follow. In the meantime I'm continuing to paint with oils; loving the creamy, blendability of the medium. A remembered scene from my walks in Ontario.

The Village SOLD

SOLD 8x8 Oil on canvas

A little vignette of a village close to my own.

Snow Day SOLD

SOLD 8x8 Acrylic on Canvas

Merry Christmas!
Snowy days are indeed here. That means lots of scenes like this are part of the landscape. Makes me want to be a kid again.

SOLD A Thing for Poppies

16x16 Acrylic on cradled panel

A recent submission to the 10th Annual Juried Exhibition held at the Marianne van Silfhout Gallery at St Lawrence College, Brockville, ON.

Lots of painting has been happening, just not a lot of uploading. I've been on a poppy kick when it comes to flowers. Inspiration has come from stunning specimens growing in my neighbourhood. Wildflowers, grasses, poppies...they make me feel creative just by looking.

River Trees

6x6 Acrylic on panel

Capturing the glow of sundown along the Rideau River.

Summer Path SOLD

Sold 6x6 Acrylic on panel

               A little scene of summer inspired by my walks around town.
