Present Tense show at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery June to July 2025

Image
 I am so excited to be part of the Gibsons Public Art Gallery show for members. Every year there is so much amazing work displayed. This year, I displayed Frida the Third a sculpture for the first time. She was the third because the first one blew up in the kiln and the second one's earring holes were too small to fit earrings. Frida third was many hours of work and joy. I am happy to announce she was bought during the show to a happy couple. I am so pleased someone loves her as much as I do. Adios my friend! I also put 6 Tiny pieces and two of them sold so I am also very please to have the continues support of my art in its many forms and mediums.     https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMYmmRGRKaE/?igsh=bGR4NGkwYWprMjE3

Dave's Sweater is Finally Done

Having had technical problems with my computer for a month or more. I have not been able to post or add photos. So long over due is a blog about finishing Dave's Sweater. I was originally going to to knit it as a Christmas gift but then I  became amgitious to finish  it for his birthday July 6th. So with hard work I did finish it. I was working right to the last day sewing the sides together and fixing any loose ends needing finishing. I am pleased with the results, although I do want to bring the sides under the arms as they are a bit wider than I think ideal. It has been fun knitting a whole sewater as lately I have been doing small projects. I did find it hard having to adjust to the pattern and custom fitting it to his body. For example his arms are long and I needed to make them longer than the pattern. But I know that it is a good learing experience as a pattern is not made for everyone exactly so you do need to make adjustment.

Flora

Flora is a series of paintings inspired by my life on the Sunshine Coast and the rich beauty of its forests. The word flora refers to the plant life of a particular region, and in Roman mythology, Flora is the goddess of flowers and spring, a symbol of love, beauty, and abundance. The forest is where I feel most connected and inspired. Walking the trails with my dog, Juno, my husband, or with family and friends through places such as Cliff Gilker Park, Hidden Grove, and Smugglers Cove, I am continually drawn to the timeless, healing presence of moss, ferns, and towering trees. Their calm energy and majesty spark both wonder and creativity. I often pause to photograph mushrooms, fungi, flowers, mosses, and ferns along these walks, gathering visual notes for my work. Most of the pieces in Flora are acrylic on canvas. While grounded in observation, the paintings are not bound to realism; instead, I play with colours such as soft pink backgrounds and unexpected hues to evoke the magi...
