First we work out. Then we paint. Sometimes what we wear to do the first influence the colour palette of the second 🤣

A black and white rendering of a brightly coloured abstract painting. Changing a photo to monochrome can help me see value contrast a bit better Two nearly completed abstract paintings shown in an in situ room app. It helps me to see what final changes I need to make to finish the work.

When the painting’s not going well I switch mediums. Today’s progress on my scrappy sock yarn blanket…

One of my favourite parts of being an artist? Dropping off work for a show!

Watch for details about the upcoming North Vancouver Arts Rental 2025 opening reception!

I like to cook too. Sometimes I post photos of dinner. Tonight’s pot roast was extra yummy.

New work. Fresh, sweeping and raw. Channeling a little Emily Carr in the colour palette.

Sometimes I like to take my hand right out of the art-making. Masking shapes leads to some really interesting outcomes. And some lovely painted scraps 😂

Pondering and thinking and slowing down are all on the agenda today…

I really do appreciate my repeat collectors.

These two lovelies are heading across Canada tomorrow to join three of their siblings!

Ending the day with a little edge painting. A surprising colour for a whimsical painting

From monochrome to first coloured layers. (I had to switch the orientation too. Feels like a landscape to me)

I can’t see the sunrise or sunset from my house (too many mountains and trees in the way). So I paint them instead!

Both of these framed, 10 x 10 inch paintings are available now.

Given my love for colour, would you be surprised to know that I typically start my paintings in monochrome?

Sometimes a few exploratory paintings on loose canvas feel exciting enough to mat and share with the world. These would be two of those. Now available on my website.
