How I’m getting my steps in today

New work that’s making me happy.

Always fun to do an interview and reflect on your art practice!

Two colourful floral-inspired abstract paintings with the artist posing in front. Her work out tights match the paintings’ palette

First we work out. Then we paint. Sometimes what we wear to do the first influence the colour palette of the second 🤣

I’m trying!

Me too! 🥰

Will do. And thanks for your patience with a newbie. Learning how all of this works 🙂

A black and white rendering of a brightly coloured abstract painting. Changing a photo to monochrome can help me see value contrast a bit better

Two nearly completed abstract paintings shown in an in situ room app. It helps me to see what final changes I need to make to finish the work.

Scrap yarn sock blanket with squares of brightly coloured yarn

When the painting’s not going well I switch mediums. Today’s progress on my scrappy sock yarn blanket…

Two large abstract paintings wrapped up for transport to an exhibition in North Vancouver

One of my favourite parts of being an artist? Dropping off work for a show!

Watch for details about the upcoming North Vancouver Arts Rental 2025 opening reception!

Thanks! Big, whole-body gestural marks are my jam these days!

This may just be my #FebruArty theme/shape!

Sunny and snowy in Vancouver makes for a pretty art photo shoot!

I don’t follow recipes when I cook. Only for baking!

Thanks @marlenelowden.bsky.social for a fabulous day of play and learning!

It was. And second dinner tonight!

I like to cook too. Sometimes I post photos of dinner. Tonight’s pot roast was extra yummy.

New work. Fresh, sweeping and raw. Channeling a little Emily Carr in the colour palette.

You are doing perfectly fine. There’s always more to be done but sometimes we just have to decide how much is enough xx

These are great Carmen!

New work available now. Don’t we all need a pop of colour in February?

Such beautiful work Brenda.

Sometimes I like to take my hand right out of the art-making. Masking shapes leads to some really interesting outcomes. And some lovely painted scraps 😂

Pondering and thinking and slowing down are all on the agenda today…
Stay calm friends xx

Thanks! Always lovely to connect art with art lovers!

Thanks! A nice start to the new month

I really do appreciate my repeat collectors.

These two lovelies are heading across Canada tomorrow to join three of their siblings!

That black really makes the colours and textures pop!

That’s great news Carmen. These are superb!
