Acrylic Mono Prints - 'Sun Spots' Series

8x8 Acrylic Monoprints

Above are pictures of acrylic monoprints featured at the group show 'Constellations'. The process for creating these works involved creating layers of acrylic skins and monoprinting on top, using acrylics, found objects, and a Gelli Plate - a very cool silicone plate that mimics the properties of an organic gelatin plate. When complete and dry, the skins were trimmed to approximately a 7 inch square and mounted onto 8"cradled birch panels.

A sneak peek at one of my paintings to be shown in the YAS Members show at Arts Underground, opening Dec 6th.

Charting the Stars Series - SOLD

#1 SOLD

#2 SOLD

#3 SOLD

#4 SOLD

I'm posting some close-ups of my work for Constellations. These four 8x8 paintings are part of the series entitled 'Charting the Stars'. As you can tell, this is quite a new journey in style.

(I think perhaps I was channeling my son's love of physics.)

All are acrylic on cradled panels, employing printmaking techniques in application as opposed to brush work. It was a very freeing process.

Highlights from Opening Night

Gallery shots, showing most of my work.

A la Carte Women
Edwige Graham, Gabriele Watts, Glenda Mosher, Kathy Piwowar

Opening night has come and gone. It was a jam packed event, coinciding with another opening in the Hougen's Heritage Gallery, adjacent to the Arts Underground Gallery. We so enjoyed the crowd and the comments on our group show.
If you weren't able to attend opening night the show is up until Dec 2.

SOLD 

November 7th our Women a la Carte show 'CONSTELLATIONS' opens at Arts Underground in Whitehorse, YT. You are all invited to attend.

Kathy Piwowar, Edwige Graham, and myself have been busy creating all things heavenly. Kathy has created some stellar mixed media works. Edwige has been busy sewing heavenly fashion accoutrements, and I have been locked in my studio for weeks - lost in space (so it has felt).

I have been on a bold new creative journey - combining my joy of printmaking and painting with acrylics. I'll share a bit more in the days ahead.

Golden Evening

The days are shortening as the calendar year marches on. While I grieve the passing of fall, and brace myself for an inevitable winter, I am however, witness to glorious sunrises and sunsets again. Spectacular light to punctuate the long darkness ahead.
                                          Available at North End Gallery, Whitehorse, YT.

Dear John...

Dear John...
Summer is waning, I'm sad to say. In spite of a pretty grey and wet season we've been off enjoying new Yukon sights; sharing them with friends and family. (I have stock piled some images for future inspiration.)
 This little painting was created during the Whitehorse Plein Air Festival. The scene is from my day at the Fish Ladder. The sun was blazing hot that day. I wandered a fair bit looking for a suitable subject to paint. I was particularly interested in finding a shady spot in which to paint in comfort. And speaking of comfort, if you are going to spend a day in nature, locating an outdoor biffy is important! During my scouting I happened to discover this little outhouse tucked amidst some shady trees. I couldn't resist!

Red Cabin Row SOLD

                           There is no end of delightful, quirky buildings to paint in Carcross, YT.
