Not Yo’ Granny’s Linen
For the past year I have been creating a new series. It's a complete departure from my other works. The timing of this couldn't have been better since it has provided me distraction and company while transitioning in and out and in of Covid stay-at-home mandates. My statement for this series is currently being word-smithed…![]()
Rustic Sampler
Happy, happy — summer is here!! Vancouver is a dream in summer. We are blessed with minimum humidity and very fresh air. And although I enjoy my Vitamin D fix, I also enjoy spending a bit of time indoors in the evenings to continue with my projects. Recently I created this sampler, below, to test…

A little surprise {ing}
Psssssst! I’m making something new for the sale. I haven’t said anything before now because I wasn’t sure these would work. I’m making ceramic broaches that are adorned with found, rusted wire. Yes I am! I am treating the wire to keep the patina on… and not rub off onto clothing. Since these are a…

I’m ticking along with my little collages for the Holiday fair. I have a photo to share of one that is now complete. Personally I like the interpretation of sharing a meal via the butcher diagram. It’s got that cheeky, retro vibe going. Stay tuned for more.. and thanks for popping in!

Ta da!

Gala Painting : Final
Here's the final painting that came out of my time with Ecole Pauline Johnston. What a great group of kids to work with! Kudos to their teacher, Laura Delasalle, for enthusiastically supporting this project and for accommodating my schedule. This piece really supports the work the school has done in adding to their existing playground…![]()
Gala Painting : Day 2
This past Monday the fantastic students at Ecole Pauline Johnston’s gr. 6/7 class and I worked together again on their mixed media collage for the school’s gala fundraiser.
