The two art pieces shown here remind me of my sister and how protective I feel of her. That’s why I’ve chosen to donate the profits from the sale of these pieces to the PKD Foundation of Canada.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the Lingering Light Group Art Show! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and share my new Illuminated Topography Collection in person at Sovereign House in Bronte Harbour.
I am incredibly honoured to share that my fine art photography has been featured in the latest issue of Humana Obscura magazine! I have been selected as their featured artist this summer, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this milestone with you.
Have you ever noticed that sometimes the creative process unfolds, similar to how a flower blooms? Starting with a tiny seed of an idea, growing slowly and almost imperceptibly. Gradually taking shape over time and finally blooming into something extraordinary? That's precisely how The Garden Girls Collection came to life.
As a photographer turned artist, I have often been asked by other artists “what camera should I get.” My first response is always “that depends.” Which is never the answer that is wanted. The truth is, of course, gear is only part of the equation. But if you have the interest, and already have (or are ready to invest in gaining) the skills required to take a good photo, then the right gear can definitely make a difference.

There is a certain “je ne sais quoi” about “great” images. Most of us understand that it has nothing to do with technical mastery of the camera (although that is important) we instinctively seem to know that what elevates a good photograph to greatness lies in the realm of creativity.
For most of our short summer we spend our free weekend time as a family sailing on Georgian Bay to quiet overnight anchorages. Away from the city lights, we are able to see the stars very clearly. I have been trying to capture our experience of the beautiful night sky for a few years now. It is a tricky thing…
You've been asking me for larger paintings and I haven't been able to deliver on that... until now!
I recently completed an interview with Abstract Artists - Discover Abstract Art. Their thought-provoking questions led to some juicy details about the motivation for my work.
I've been absent from this space a bit lately and it's occurred to me that some of you may be wondering where I've gone. Which means now is the perfect time to let you know where else you can find me ... I do like to get out and about in the web-o-sphere.
