This year was a slow start in the creative journey. For those of you who receive my every-other-month-artist-note-email-newsletter, you know my focus has been on finishing my oil painting collection “Near and Far: Roadtripping for Great Canadian Landscapes.” Part One was launched in November 2024, and Part Two will be launched in June 2025. In July the full series of 12 paintings will be on display at a local cafe in Cobourg, Ontario. Sign up for my “Artist Note” if you’d like more information on that as the date gets closer.

My social media presence is changing. I have already deactived my Facebook pages, and Instagram will be next. If you still wish to follow my art journey, you can find me on YouTube, Substack, and Linked-In.

Once “Near and Far” is launched I’m going to pick up the other projects I mentioned in previous blogs:

• The Creative Fire Re-Ignited
• Maiden, Mother, Crone

I am excited to see where the blending of art and poetry take me!
