"Sovereign" 36x36 She was actually quite an easy labour. It was mostly ecstasy & rapture as she purged through. There were some tender pensive moments. The final act was discerning & absolutely precise. Then we wept together as she said she’d like to linger here for maybe an eternity. We shall see? Artist Personal Collection

Naked & Honest 48”x 48”… She’s not a puzzle to be solved. Please look & see without tearing her apart. Can you appreciate what you see without dissection of her layers? Can you override your brains desire to understand & instead just be with the admiration? When I watch the hummingbird fly I do not need to know how she moves her wings fast I just watch in awe of her and offer refreshments. When she’s asked how or why, she knows you are not the one. The one will just look, see the expanse, witness the flaws and accept all of it as “beautiful”. Perhaps, in time an understanding may occur but first she must see if you can be as naked and honest with her as she is being with you. Residing in Mckees Mills, New Brunswick, Canada

“Liberation” 48x48 Layers & Layers & Layers ... years & years & years ... moving from one creative act to another... witnessing the process & the willingness to meet what comes up as brush & linen collide... sometimes moving with the textures, sometimes ignoring it... defining the next righteous act that feels free... honing the next stroke that the body recognizes as a learning... showing up when the muse calls... what will liberty feel like today? Residing in Tsawwassen, BC

“Flannel & a Fireplace” 60x48 Feeling the season in my bones & wanting to wrap myself in warmth. You can find nature beautiful yet cold and still long to be in touch with her. There are memories I have of my childhood farm in different seasons. I recall scenes, thoughts & overwhelming contentment. I find myself wanting to recreate some of those feelings of home, safety, space & family. In the isolation that has been our reality these months creating beauty in my home has been my vacation. Spilling the feelings, memories & longings onto the canvas has been my retreat. I’m not sure what normal is but I will continue to make this situation my own. Artists Personal Collection

“Meet me in my Garden” 36x36… Beyond all the weight of words and wonders there is a space where stillness finds herself. I’m a solitary soul & human. Well sort of… There is family, friends, occasional conversation, communal responsibility, and of course, work. My affinity for silence is a sacred relationship between my ears and the ability to block out the world. This piece is a true test of my ability to go in, deep, quit my center & just do. Perhaps this is akin to my ability to compartmentalize & just act in stressful situations. Like saving my house from fire, managing the health crisis of my husband or the vigilance required to care for a highly sensitive child. This work was created at the Elate Spring Collection launch event. Many of us gathered in community for the first time in a few years. I thought I’d be with silence & music as I started my expression with this linen. I was expecting quit observation… without setting that as expectation. As my brush hit the canvas for the work a cacophony of voice stole my silence. I was jolted from my peace and ritual. I was forced to breathe & allow my body to ‘just do’ what it knows. I settled into habit. I did the work in the unfamiliar space, with all the noice and without the preferences of home. Maybe all those voices assisted me to learn more and see different. I think it turned out lovely. There is depth here. Nostalgia & nature in communion. I’m also loving green right now. Maybe it’s the feels of spring, or my affinity for 70’s decor or maybe it’s just a willingness to stay curious and learn. As always, we shall see… and to be continued… (currently in Artists personal collection)

"Let me down Easy" 48”x36” I’m keenly aware of what it is to be dropped, discarded and disengaged. For this next round I’m craving softer fringe, rounded corners and arched entry ways. Nothing sharp and no hard edges please. Quit, solitude and places of peace are the destination. My boundaries with the the loud, manic and aggressive are being reinforced. The conversation needs to be deeply quilted in virtues of compassion. I am tiptoeing in this space whenever possible. Although the world and life doesn’t allow for complete surrender to long lingering there.

"Deeper" 36x36 I wanted consistency, she said compliance was not her forte. We argued for a bit & she giggled at my rigidity. She said there was a deeper listening awaiting me on the other side of the counterflow. My lungs caved in as I swallowed my ego’s last breath. She took me down to the place where resistance only drowns you and the only way out is to go to the depth and be shot out the other side. She left me breathless & in tears knowing I had finally arrived and she was no longer needed. I moved slowly to find my footing and lingered in the nakedness of being turned inside out! Residing in Victoria, BC

"Infinite" 36x36 Sometimes you share a piece of yourself & your creation ... sometimes friends see themselves & know a piece of their essence has come to play with you! That happened in this space. Then the infinite speaks to you as she recognizes that we are in witness of her through each other. If you’re fortunate she gives you a rhythm & you dance in time to each other’s pulse! Residing in Edmonton, AB

“Unfurl” 48x30 There is a vastness here. I initially felt cold in her presence. This was my work, my limits and my own projection. Her truth was naked, bold & unapologetic. This intimidated me until I was willing to sit in reverence. I witnessed courage as she unzipped her body and flung off all that was not of integrity! Residing in Saskatoon, SK

“Fall & an Early Salmon Run” 48x36 This reminded me of my first trip to Goldstream park to watch the salmon spawn. The sea of red in the river. Witnessing the work & determination of the salmon swimming upstream. The deep thoughts that took over. Understanding how hard things can be but yet they have to be done ... because life matters & these animals do whatever it takes for the next generation to exist. Sometimes I contemplate all we are doing, what we leave behind & who cleans it all up. How we are all separate but connected. Then I get out my brush & paint it all down to allow it to be what it is with acceptance & in accordance with the deep trust I have in Mother Nature. Residing in Victoria, BC

“A Willing Witness”.. 48 x48 This is about how we are met. The longing to be witnessed and met where we are at without any push, pull, judgement, fixing, expectation, words or attachment. We know when this is happening and we know when it is not. It is rare to sit in silence and complete surrender to the present with another. It requires a stillness that is honed like any great ability. Years of practice and many moments of failure at this level of patience with ones own tongue. Being with each other without projection, longing or placing ourselves into intersections of another beings narrative. I hope you have moments where you experience yourself like this and I hope even more that someone meets you just like this. This piece challenged me. Sometimes I want to move with the texture & sometimes I like to ignore it. Each canvas asks for something different, I rarely get it right the first try. I am still learning to attune my presence and being to the work just as I continue to learn and practise to attune to other humans. We are always in practice of listening and learning to be with each other. Sorry, this piece was extremely hard to photograph. I lack the skill to capture its intricacies in the right light. What I know is that where it is going it will fill the space with love and be the “Willing Witness” to any eye that asks for its presence. Residing in Metchosin, BC

“Maui Dreams” 48x30 She’s all about the tropics. Soaking in the sun, surfing waves & basking in the shade of palm trees. This really feels like the trips we cancelled, the places we miss & the beaches we will once again sink out toes into. One day we will vacation again & we will see these shores. Residing in Rye, New Hampshire

"Softer than the Edge" 48x24 There is a serenity here, a softness & yet I feel the edges too. Sovereignty dissolves everything she thinks she is to know she nothing and everything all at the same time, there is no grasping, no lusting, no longing. She knows the tighter she holds on, she strangles herself with the corset of her own design. Residing in Whistler, BC

“Grace” 48x48 There is this way that we can be undone & completely unfurled. It can be untamed, wild, vivid & magikal and it can also appear to have the graceful dance of waves hitting the shoreline. We know this embodiment when we no longer desire the audience or the exhibition & the work is done purely for the sake of itself. She had much more to say but that’s for your ears & not mine! Artists Personal Collection

“Meet me in Yosemite” 30x24. Loved playing in the grey area with this one, then giving it a touch of gold. I’m in love with metallics right now. Residing in Fort Saskatchewan, AB

"Untethered" 48x36 She showed herself over many sessions, some harsh lessons, deep instilled learnings & a withdrawal into void. It takes much depth to unwind our strings from what we believe is ours & to let go of the expectations. Surrendering what we believe to be so...so truth can show us her teeth. May we collide with the moment and grab the wave thats purpose is to destroy our shore! Residing in White Rock, BC

"The Journey" 48x30“ You will dance with light & shadow, that is a truth. How graceful or how full of rage is of little consequence to the magik. The dance only demands that you move. This one has taken months to complete & to feel where it wanted to go, it asked for patience with its changes & to listen to subtle movements. I’m grateful for its silent teachings, the muses wisdom can be so unpredictable in its expression! Enjoy whatever your eyes feel in its presence. Residing in White Rock, BC

"You feel Colours" 36x36 This process was an outlet. Moments of release & extreme containment. It became the unique vessel that will exist around unexpressed feelings, moments of longing & is an unrequited expression that I would prefer to be nameless. This was about not being able to find the words, feel the feelings or have my body be met in its true longing. When creativity was all that was to be had it’s where she went. Residing in Oakville, ON

“Beyond the Bridge” 36x36 I love this one so much. She feels easy & light. "She was a witness to the realms only others could imagine” was the verse calming my hand through this entire process! Residing in Victoria, BC

"Shadowmancer" 48x36 This one was a constant play in light, darkness & shadow. The metaphor & the reality of becoming inside of it was a conjuring that I want to touch more. When we already know we are light we can surrender to the darkness! Artists Personal Collection

"Slow Fade" 36x36 Sometimes there are a lot of feelings & sometimes there is emptiness... or maybe we just channel what cannot be felt or said into something different from who we understand ourselves to be. Artists Personal Collection

"Come A Little Closer” 36x36. She spoke poetry through her entire birthing! More about sovereignty... she likes using me for this message! Sovereignty knows her value and bleeds on the ground that fertilizes the vision of her dominion. She is the feeder of the masses and the ignitor of the flame. She does not want for your demise or your rise. She wants for nothing. She is the ruler of the planet that feeds from the vines that nurse souls to life. Residing at Bear Mountain, Victoria, BC

” Layers of Love” 48x36... I see summer, solar chemistry & my Leo nature on full display. This one commands an audience & wants to know the truth of your feelings. This stirred emotions around flaws & acceptance. How beautiful we can make something when we are willing to let go of perception & allow it to stun us with its truth! Artists Personal Collection

“Reflections” 36x18 When we hustle for it.. we cannot find ‘it’ it will forever be elusive. What you seek is on the other side of the getting out of your own way in surrender to the moment that has more to say than your mind could ever reach for Residing in Fort Saskatchewan

“Spring in Burgundy” 48x36 This felt like a visit from another time & place. She came through with so much ease I wanted to question it... but I quickly realized this palette was forgiving & playful. First tries always astonish me & create work that feels warm. Inspired by nothing other than presence! This was an honour to see through to the end. Residing in Fort Saskatchewan, BC

“Seasalt & Cider” 48x36 for the many layers this canvas experienced to finally find what it really wanted to say the final result was swift & easy !!! Finding the perfect palette & texture to capture the feeling of the sea & the taste of summer heat. Residing in Cowichan, BC

“Sanctuary” & “Sojourn” 40x36 have arrived #twinning. These two came about as a result of my constant contradiction in feelings of wanting to be on adventures, seeing new landscapes, being immersed in the new & on Sojourn .... and yet my equal pull to be relaxed, home, in comfort, steadiness and Sanctuary. There is no resolution to these feelings. I just ride them & experience what they both have to offer & teach. They are both beautiful in and of themselves & yet breathtaking when separated... (my feelings & the paintings)! Residing in Sidney, BC

“Taken by the becoming” 48x36. It seems to be so “that the grey matters”. It will speak to us through the subtle & subdued space where there is no acknowledgement or approval. There are no choices to make, sides to pick and you can stay as long as you respect the nature of its being. The second you attach you are dismissed and can no longer hear the depth of vivace. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Into the Light” 48x36 She knows what it is to be fine in the dark. To be willing to be with all of it. Accept it as a time and space that is passing through. There is this way that she can glimpse the light and trust that the next wave that comes will be different. The light will slowly rise over the mountains with sweeping wings to face the shadows and blind them before they collect their forces. Some days they battle other times they surrender. Her moodiness will stand vigilant whatever the next ride may bring. So, I will stand witness & etch. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Dusk” & “Dawn” 36x24 These sisters & contradictions are here! They are about inevitable change, welcoming it & understanding that a new day will rise. We can weather the storms. We can do the hard stuff. We can be present for the beauty & welcome a new day! We have the capacity for all of it. We were built for this. We will settle & rise as each day begins & ends. Nothing profound just simple awareness. Residing in Cloverdale, BC

“Dusk” & “Dawn” 36x24 These sisters & contradictions are here! They are about inevitable change, welcoming it & understanding that a new day will rise. We can weather the storms. We can do the hard stuff. We can be present for the beauty & welcome a new day! We have the capacity for all of it. We were built for this. We will settle & rise as each day begins & ends. Nothing profound just simple awareness. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Vivace” 36x36 .. She desired motion. There was a fever to her rhythm. When she asked, I simply complied. It was the only way there would be peace. Residing in Oakville, ON

“Summer at the Cottage” 40 x30 I don’t have much to say about this ... it’s just a feeling I get. The relaxation & soothing feeling that comes over me when I arrive at a cottage on the lake. Distractions of the day to day melt away & I surrender to the lusting for boredom that the busyness of life has us long for. I hope you know this feeling & breathe into it. Our bodies & souls need to know what it is to rest & laze... enjoy!!! Residing in Saskatoon, SK

“I Feel Oceans” 36x36 Sometimes you have to listen hard, not with your ears but with your heart. The next right move, the tear down, the start over, the surrender to something more. Resistance to the unfurling is futile... and so it IS! Residing in Nanaimo, BC

"Beach Blanket" 36x36 is adding a big dose of summer to the space! This is all ease, fun & play. She invites you to stare, linger & just lay around! Residing in Victoria, BC

“The Softest Yearning” 36x36 The goal was always to see what was there for her...To feel all of it & yet bravely remain unattached to what she moved through her...Sometimes this cracked her to the core & left her with fragments of unrequited longing... Yet to not feel all of it would have left her hollow & her depth would have only known a shallow space of insignificance... So she understood courage, loss & rejection as we are supposed to! Residing on Pender Island, BC

“Autumn Gold” 48x48 I hope you have spaces in your life that are without goals. Places you visit only to feel & experience. Time is of little consequence & arriving makes you breath slower. I hope that it’s about the process & the presence. Artist Personal Collection

“Something More Than Vital” 48x24 The light plays with her more than most, she’s constantly changing ... she’s never the same twice & she will take time to show you all her layers & tones. Residing in Vancouver, BC

“SeaSalt & Amber” 36x36 she feels like a seaside cottage & the smell of a beach fire. She longs for lazy days & toasty sun-kissed skin. You will find her in a big hat & a bikini, lost in a novel about characters doing “whatever the hell they want”. Meet her here, there is an extra chair & a chilled glass in cooler. Artist Personal Collection

“Subtle & Sweet” 48x30 I know she’s anything but subtle... but when she was coming through it was soft & kind. There was no force, no second try, all immediacy & ease. She felt brilliant, ready & seemed to be in contemplation for some time. I was asked a couple years ago if I could do a custom piece, sent a photo & an offer. I said “no”, it was more than I could take on, fathom & I didn’t think I could fulfil the promised ask! This has come close, not through intention or a deliberate attempt. It just needed time, a honed craft & the space to attempt. I cannot remember who asked or find the photo but I know this is it! Residing in Victoria, BC

“Lilly’s View” 48x30 She is beyond special. She is a dream come true. She is the fruition of a union. She is beauty. She is what stars are made of. She is LOVE. Residing in Boston, MA

"Tofino” 48x48 .. this one has seen a lot & been even more. It’s residence is planted here in my home. This was a teacher, an experiment & learning into the courage to try. I was willing to let this be a mess .. this canvas saw layers & layers of attempt ... not a failure... just attempt! She’s been to many colours & places in the last year.. but arrival & home is sacred and finally free! Artist Personal Collection

“A Calm Day on the Rhine” 48x36 This piece was a lesson in surrender to ease & listening closely. My hand felt directed the entire time. It reminded me of a time long ago, in another country, travelling & seeing new landscapes. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Something to Look Forward To” 48x48. There is this way that it can be graceful & easy. It can come together on the first try. It can be so effortless that it will cause you to wonder. What comes so naturally that you doubt it? What makes you think this should be harder? What asks you to move toward it without an ounce of resistance marking the path? Maybe that’s the thing! Residing on Bear Mountain, Victoria, BC

“Connected yet Unattached” 48x24 How is ‘art’ influencing your mindfulness practice? This kind of creating is just a new form of listening. It is similar to my hiking meditation, nature communication and trance work. The canvas is the tree and she can guide me when I get out of the way. This is ultimately just another tool to vividly & visually teach what I have always channelled through my other practices: presence, touching your essence, learning to listen, non-attachment to an outcome, letting go of expectation, leaning into pleasure, feeling feminine in my body through a process and allowing the full range of emotions to exist and be felt. Simple concepts that are not so simple in practice. Residing in White Rock, BC

“She stood there naked, did you even notice” 24x24 Residing in Boston, MA

“All I could find was ghosts” 24x24 Residing in Victoria, BC

"Shoreline" 48x48 I had very different ideas for her. Just like I think we all had very different ideas about how our lives & our summers may go. Travel plans were changed. We stayed closer to home. We learned to love where we are & what we have. We decided our local shores were as lovely & desirable as the distant ones. We stayed close to the Shoreline & decided that it was as much of an adventure as the far off seas. Residing on Bear Moutain, Victoria, BC

“Intimacy” 48x36 I rarely can live without a critique of the work. I will find the flaw. I will search for the error. I will see the learning to change next time. Here there was nothing to feel but perfect respect & kindness. Its creation was an intimate dance of feeling & play. Not sure I’ll be able to say goodbye but she’s here now so I will love & appreciate all that she is! Artist Personal Collection

“Part of me & not part of me” 20x16. Maybe working small is a bit like being quit. We know we need it sometimes but also we feel a yearning to be heard! There is peace in the silence of quit & small spaces. So I will continue to visit them and see what is so! Image captured in one of my besties homes. Residing in Nanoose Bay, BC

"Celestine" 30x12 All the feels of the homelands. My Scandinavian ancestral lands. We spoke of long tables & long houses full of friends & what it is to create the space. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Love of a Lifetime” 60x48 Maybe we find that person, thing, passion or purpose that never stops giving us waves of butterflies in our tummy. Maybe in the presence of this love, we are connected with the very spark that gives life. Feeling this presence is to understand how connection and creation collide in collective harmony. This may be the eternal why. Maybe it’s a minute, a moment or a lifetime. To feel it for a second is to be with the old gods. Residing in Dunbar, Vancouver, BC

“Willows Waves” 48x30 There will always be spaces & places that unite us to pieces of ourselves thought long gone. We return when life asks us to remember all that we have been. These sites unite all the fibres that may be needed for the soul's next voyage. Our eyes are met with tears. Our noses know a familiar scent. Our tongues can taste the salt of the air. Our feet feel the grit of sand in between our toes. Our ears know the music of waves crashing and rolling back across rocks. Our system is calmed by the vastness of the view and the knowing of home. Meet me here & remember. Residing in Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC

“The Warmest Night” 48x36 She brings warmth & asks us to join her by the fire. It’s fitting this was finished on Winter Solstice when it was actually cold and dark. She brought the light. She spoke of folklore and seasons past. She brought up past grievances & asked they now be put to rest. She spoke of the freedom in isolation and the contradiction of wanting to share that space with another. She asked me to jump in the cold lake & sit for it’s healing benefits. She sobered me up then greeted me with mulled wine. She talked of the surrender that is required for wisdom to take root. Then she told me to drink up, put out the fire and take the long trail home. She said she had to move on to another’s hearth. I obeyed, bundled up and tended the coals. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Heart Wide Open” 36x36 custom work. This palette is definitely outside of my norm. I was asked, challenged and surrendered. Allowing & letting go is a delicate balance. Being open to new, trusting process and the craft. The truth is I love a challenge but this felt bold. I didn’t expect to feel so free while yearning for an outcome. It felt beautiful and ecstatic. She is ready for her new home & to be hung in a special place. Residing in Victoria, BC

“Untold” 48x48 is for all the things that are left unsaid. The weight that those words bare when not given the proper audience. The impact they could have and yet the sounder response is to savour them as our own. Maybe silence & noise are both virtues. Maybe a contradiction is home & true. The scream of passion or rage is still a sound. This was healing allowing my body to write things I just don’t have the energy to voice. The expression felt wild yet safe and without dangerous impact. Yet, left it all on here. To be felt instead of said. Residing in Vancouver, BC

“No Place Like You” 30x24 I found this black canvas hidden behind some larger ones in my studio. I decided to see what she wanted to say. She liked her darkness. She knew her expression needed to visit the shadowlands & still be ok with the joy she knows she brings. This one was not afraid of being dark, heavy or small. In fact, I don’t know how often we see this type of grounded courage. We wept a little but mostly out of happiness. She talked of erotica, the land and what it is to be free even when we are so committed to what seem like chains. She had a lot to say, this small one. She said she wouldn’t be staying long & her place to be would reveal itself soon. We held onto each other like sisters from another incarnation then she let go & lead me back to myself. Residing in London, UK

“Maui Shores” 48x24 ... How many of you are missing the tropics? Longing for the sun on your skin. The smell of salt and sea. The gentle breeze hitting your body as you nap under a palm tree. I’m craving all of this. Too many cancelled vacations, too much rain, and life just being “too much” at times. Soon we will be back to travel and play. Cannot wait to see you again ‘for real’ Maui .. but until then .. I will fall into this painting. Residing in Shawnigan Lake, BC

“SeaSide” 48x30 Feeling the summer heat & craving views & hues of blue ... she has already gone to her home & has been hung. She greets her family & all visitors the moment they enter. She asks to be admired & felt! Residing in Victoria, BC

"Capacity" 36”x12” There is a feeling of fullness. No more can happen. She is satiated. To bring anything more would bring a storm of reckoning. Finding the balance before “too much” is not easy. It’s a practice to know when you have been met with “enough”. Residing in Sidney, BC

Earth MaMa 30x24 is done. This canvas was moody. She started as another painting called scorched earth, she was not satisfied & demanded to be whited out, flipped vertical & to start over. I complied and this is what she became. Very early work... Residing in Victoria, BC

Silver Linings 48”x36” Looking for what can be right in all situations is daunting and lacks truth. Let’s instead allow things to be what they are and then go about figuring out how to do life around the circumstance. Life will show us who we are when we stop pretending. Then every once in a while we will glimpse, feel and maybe even get love poured all over us. Maybe, when we get really honest it falls into place and we finally find our real silver linings. Residing in Westshore, Victoria, BC

Endless Summer 12”x12”. I like my summers long and hot. Stretching into September for as many days as possible. There is this way that the suns heat feeds my restless soul and warms my cold heart. Me and the sun have this affair I don’t want to end. I feel sad when she says “see you next year”. This summer fling will last a lifetime and she will continue to break my heart every fall as she slowly departs. This is #3 in my “Spaces Between” Series. A grouping on subtle toned smaller works. Perfect for “the spaces between” the bigger work in our lives.

“Winterbone” 36x24 she makes me crave a sleigh ride & a mountain Chalet. I want to bundle up & put on snow shoes to go look at the village lights. I can smell the fireplace. I look forward to the hot chocolate that’s in my favourite mug ☕️ to warm my hands. There is sheepish laughter as my daughter heaves a snowball at my husband. The dog is excited and bumps so hard into the snowman ☃️ that it tips over. Residing with collectors in Fort Saskatchewan, AB

“Home” 36x24 There will always be this place I will remember as home. The land that raised me. I have long departed but yet their are scars on my skin a void in my soul that only this place can recall. This piece felt like that, my a long time ago home. The holiday season will always conjure memories of my childhood farm in Saskatchewan. This piece reminds me of the trees we would spot as we drove along the half mile driveway. The way the bushes would catch the drifting snow & create rolling banks. These trees knew me well. My brother & I would built forts and play hide & seek in their twiggy branches. We were feral and free. Our boundaries were acres and we knew the danger zones. I ran away from this place the second I had the legs to carry me. I know the trees remember me. I know that it was not the land that I sought to leave. My homage is to this land and how it fed my roots. I have decided I cannot part with this one and have added it to my personal collection.

Mirage 18"x18" This journey was dreamy & didn't feel real. Her layers are subtle and she sparkles. She asked me to take away as I added. She wanted a soft hand and nothing firm. Her form is curvy yet her boundaries are clear. She's ever so dreamy & there will never be another like her. Residing in Surrey, BC

Golden Hour 40”x40”custom work for a collectors to create pieces that are married in theme. There is a chill in the air this morning. “Mom, the smell of summer is gone”, said Siome. That statement rung through my ears as the wind delivered a chill to my skin. The fall has always brought a little challenge to my system. I’m a summer child. Frolicking in the sun, lazing about cooking my body in the daytime heat and the long drawn out days are my favourite. I remember as a kid dreading the fall and all it represented. Returning to school, an alarm clock, routine and the forced community of a classroom. I’d feel my freedom slip away and dread the chill in the air. My body remembers these seasonal adjustments and I find myself surrendering to a small melancholy. I’m going to squeeze every bit of summer I can out of these next few days and then I’ll cheer up with cashmere sweaters & tall boots. It helps to remember that every season still has a golden hour. Nature is beautiful in all her changes. There can be pleasure found in the small things; like the smell of a candle and snuggles with pets. Perhaps the “look forward to’s” are the daily rituals rather than the big trips. My mind will find a way to navigate this season and know that summer can be counted on to come again. Residing in Brentwood, BC

Halocene 20x18 “#5” in the “Spaces Between” Series. A grouping on subtle toned smaller works. Perfect for “the spaces between” the bigger work in our lives. Halocene derived from (holos, whole or entire) and (kainos, new) This felt like something that needed to be marked. A moment in time derived of its own new nature. She glows with grey and amber tones and is residing in Victoria, BC.

Art that has found it’s forever home. Enjoy the View
