Welcome
My new studio set up
Back in the Studio!
After two years of having to work out of my mini garden studio, I have my larger studio space back with lots of room to spread out and create, and also more gallery walls! I am happy to present my new Pond Magic series, featuring lily ponds and dragonflies. This is a limited series of five completed smaller paintings, and a larger painting in progress. The completed paintings are all on display at the Salish Sea Market in Bowser. You can view them in my new works gallery on this website. I am also working on this year’s limited poppy painting series. Updates to the new works gallery will be made as the paintings are completed. Enjoy!

Oil and Cold Wax
Cold wax medium is a mixture of white unbleached beeswax and odourless mineral spirits. When mixed, it gives oil paint a buttery consistency for painting thickly with texture, and hastens the drying time. I use palette knives and have developed a few distinctive painting methods including mosaic, contour, and layering. These methods can all be combined in one painting or used on their own depending on how the subject speaks to me.
