Remembering both of my grandfathers who fought in WW1 & WW2. Here is a quiet field of poppies to honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who have served to protect us.

As the days get shorter, and the nights longer, I'm embracing #moon scapes. Have a splendid late autumn #evening.

A playful take on the theme #vertical. This is a demo on how to paint #glass from my class last week in oil pastel.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada.

Artmaking as thinking in action.
My PhD research shows how brain, body, and materials interact in the creative process to construct meaning through embodied and material engagement. #PhDDefense #ArtisticThinking #EmbodiedCognition #MET #AcademicSky

I came across these steadfast poplars marking the continuity of time in a #summer field. As the #floating clouds swept by, I thought about the cycles of life.

Happy Labour Day weekend! Marking the end of summer through a little #gouache sunset with an #OrangeSun.

Not sure if it counts for #stunday.😄

Bonne rentrée à tous!

Today is my birthday! Could you, please, share my art, it is the best gift an artist can get 💖
A close-up photo of me, a gremlin cat artist trying to pass as human 😸 An green/gold illustration of an elven maiden casting spell, with spirits gently surrounding her. Dragon Age inspired. A portrait of a redhead aasimar with 4 spread wings and a blue eye on her forehead. A poster-like illustration of Solas, Cass, and Fenris from Dragon Age. A ghostly, shining hand is touching Solas' chest (it's Lavellan!).

Happy flowerday! 30 hours of painting reduced to 20 seconds 😊 I work in silence. I find much of the music added to videos can be annoying.

There’s something magical in this ad inviting Americans to visit Québec’s Eastern Townships.

It feels like us — open arms, quiet beauty.

In Québec, we welcome not with grandeur, but with warmth.
Maybe, now more than ever, our neighbours need love.
