statement
The way we interact with our environment influences the way we see things and frame the things we see. We take insubstantial, fragmented images and fill them out to make complete narratives.
It is this tension between the negative space, what is withheld from the frame of the painting and what is suggested that engages the viewer in a conversation with my work. I am showing part of a picture or world which exists beyond the realm of the canvas in the mind of the viewer. This conversation between the viewer and the painting, between description and abstraction is the most vital element of my painting.

Another new one from another studio stand in . 20x20” subtle colours . Trying to leave space for the butterflies maybe.
A friend from my allotment garden always tells me when I’m arranging flowers that I need to leave space for butterflies to flit through. I feel you always need to leave space for the imagination to flit through and engage.

The studio set up yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came out. It was super fun , lots of people and I forgot to take pictures of them there. Ahh well, redux on Wednesday 5-8 if you’re interested. As someone who works primarily in solitude, it is very fun to see people’s reaction to my work ❤️.

Farewell Toronto , my studio is leaving the city . Come by , have some bubbles and let’s toast my new adventure.
I’m opening up my studio on March 5, 1-5 pm and March 8, 5-8 pm . 511 Church Street , Toronto second floor (Also available by appointment) .
The date isn’t confirmed on my actual departure but March 22, is a good best before date. I came here to go to th ontario College of Art and stayed. Love this city and th many relationships I've built here and the way it’s nurtured my art and soul.
Details on my move will be coming soon . Loking forward to sharing that adventure with you .
Teaching a full day still life painting course @georgianbayarts today. It’s exciting to think of ways to encourage people to think of new approaches to a familiar subject. When I’ve done it before, there have been a mixture of newbie’s and practiced painters.
My approach is alway to make myself uncomfortable when painting because I’ll learn something from this discomfort. It’s fun to see things through new eyes …… ready … set … raise your brushes and go …… 🌺 🌸 🌾🌷

Finishing up this piece I started awhile ago there’s something about it … I think it’s that time of twilight when the shadows are deep and mysterious and the colours are particularly vibrant. 36x36”
