Doing a proper introduction as I got a bunch of new followers today. Hi! I’m a Canadian artist who works with collage, encaustic and mixed media. I make work that is inspired by anxiety, dreams and the unconscious.

More about me here:

A black and white image with arches drawn and collaged at the bottom. A white frame around it is intersected by photographed bare black branches. The branches flow into a hand-drawn organic pattern half obscured by translucent wax. The pattern moves up the image to transform back into branches.

In Ottawa we can barely see them with the naked eye but people are getting great views with their phones.

Wow. The last time I was an early adopter of any kind of social media was when I joined the National Capital FreeNet the summer of 1993 in order to post on usenet newsgroups 😂

The tree that gives me the most daily joy is the large oak in my neighbour’s yard that I see out my window every day. (In Canada, so no leaves yet!)

Still figuring out how I want to use this platform. But I guess the first step is actually posting things…

So…Here’s some art I made. Will try to post more of it more regularly.
