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). I was happy to hear it was a hit! Then at the … Continue reading Adventures in Art | Summer 2019

Honestly, where does the time go?! It seems like just a few days ago I was up to my knees in snow, trudging towards the ice volcanoes on the fierce and moody Lake Ontario. Now, it's flat land of sand at the beach, and smooth waves rolling onto the shore; any ice left is quickly … Continue reading So Many Ideas and So Little Time
THANK YOU What an incredibly creative year. 2017 brought seven custom projects, prints selling in a Nova Scotia Art Gallery, two successful art shows, my first calendar project; it also brought more depth and meaning to my work. Canada: The Provinces and Territories was a wonderful success. I have now sold 8 out of … Continue reading The 2017 Art Journey

Since hosting my private art show "Two Days In Jasper" in December 2015, my passion for painting has exploded. I started this website, became a member of "Spirit of the Hills" and 2016 has been an incredible year (and it isn't even over yet); I completed four large custom paintings, I co-hosted a successful art … Continue reading 2016 Art Exposure
No words can really describe the gratitude I'm feeling after yesterday's art show. When you have a drop-in event on a long weekend, you're taking a chance. Then when no one shows up right away you start to worry and wonder if anyone is really coming... and you remind yourself, no matter how the day … Continue reading Blessed by Earth & Sky
Last week I gifted myself an original work of art by Herb Jung. I had been admiring some of his "Raven" paintings at Engine Gallery in Port Hope a few months before, but they were WAY out of my budget. A few weeks later, some smaller crow paintings arrived- in my budget (mostly). Bonus, the painting … Continue reading I Like To Collect Art Too
