 'Mystic Crow in Springtime' 9x12 (SOLD)
Sometimes a crow will give you a particular look.



'Dusk Aglow' 9x12 (not for sale)
A hush, a quiet, the sort of dreamy glow of new things growing.  Subtle realms, to stop and listen in order to perceive and appreciate, and sometimes protect. The delicate stage of things, budding. 

 

'Land Spirit' 8x5 2016 watercolour and ink pen
A watercolour and ink pen rendition of the 1000 islands area as a grandmother land spirit.
I feel this painting is a sort of precursor to the other paintings, combined with another series of dot and shape paintings I made prior to this body of work.



ABOUT ME

I was born in Sudbury and am currently based in 1000 islands area; I've also lived in Ottawa, Montreal, Victoria, and Toronto.  I've had an affinity for painting with watercolours since I was small.  Most of my formal training is in music. Spending time in nature is also pretty central to my perspective. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed seeing these paintings.
