40. You are finally here! I have been excited for this landmark birthday since I was 25... It seemed to hold so much promise, excitement, and wise-woman-wisdom. It has seemed mysterious and so far away. But before August 25th arrived, I was struck with a few trials and tribulations that made me reconsider my excitement. … Continue reading Hello 40!
Summer has just begun but holy moly with a bang! At the end of June I wrapped up a huge custom painting, which was fun but also very challenging (it was a surprise gift, so very little communication was made during the process).

Since then, I have started a new collection of 5 Canadian Landscapes (or 8 if … Continue reading New Canadian Landscape Series (in oils)

I used some of my most simple beach photographs and applied that simplicity to the paintings: I finished two acrylics from my Ontario collection, and continue to work on … Continue reading Revival of the Arts
I am always an early riser. This morning I got out for groceries at 8am, and tossed Neil Young's "Prairie Wind" in the CD player... Did it ever set my mood for the day. "The painter stood, before her work, she looked around everywhere... she saw the pictures and she painted them, picking colours from … Continue reading Sunday Moods
After a grey and moody September, October, November, and December; it seems the new year has lightened up and brought us a bit of sun and snow. I always find this time of year to be so magical - winter light just has the best glow. Sunrises and sunsets, crisp starlit nights; and wow … Continue reading Winter Brilliance
