Freebird
There’s a bold, bright, buoyant energy at the heart of my new painting – a sense of motion that feels musical. In a whimsical gesture Freebird arcs and loops like a carefree melody – loose and delightfully unbound. Another painting in my Optimism of Colour series. 24×18” acrylic – $650
Razzmatazz – Laughter in Colour
A new painting in my ongoing Optimism of Colour series, Razzmatazz (30×30” acrylic) is a moment of pure exuberance filled with a mischievous, improvisational energy. Radiating with joy and a sense of celebration, the painting makes me smile every time I look at it. I hope it makes you smile, too! – $1350
Chorus of Song – Refreshed!
A sweep of colour in motion – arcs, lines, and rising rhythms gathering into one bright, resonant voice. 30×30” acrylic. $1350
Totem for a New Age
Totem for a New Age (30×24”) rises from a stack of shapes that never meant to become a figure yet somehow did – a playful sentinel built from colour, curve, and quiet invention. Its soft geometry hints at robotics, but with a warmth that feels unmistakably human. Part machine, part daydream, it stands as a cheerful emblem of how we navigate the present moment: improvising, adapting, finding delight in the unexpected. A totem not of ancient ritual, but of the bright, quirky optimism that carries us forward. $1100
In A Blue Funk
Alive and vibrating, this 24×12″ acrylic painting layers chromatic intensity into a sculptural blue form that feels rhythmic, slightly off‑kilter and grounded. The vertical line rises through a field of charged orange, its syncopated edges giving the whole piece a pulse – a flicker of emotional frequency. $425
On The Threshold I , II & III – Dream Visions & Cryptic Runes
In these mixed media paintings (24×12”), I explore the space between knowing and not-knowing, a liminal terrain where spirit guides, dream visions, and cryptic runes emerge from the subconscious. Layered, intuitive, and open-ended, these hieroglyphs of the psyche reflect my restless, joyful experimentation with form, colour, and meaning. $425 each
Song of Joy – A Celebration in Colour that Sings
Part of my Optimism of Colour series, Song of Joy (acrylic & oil on unstretched canvas, 65×60”) embodies exuberance and uplift. Its swirling forms and radiant palette evoke musical improvisation, a visual chorus celebrating play and the transformative power of colour. Song of Joy is a reminder that even in challenging times, colour can sing us back to hope. $6000
New Textile Art
Ritual & Rhythm – A New Series of Fabric Collage Paintings
A meditative dance of colour, texture and pattern, my new series Ritual & Rhythm transforms fabric remnants into quiet acts of ceremony. One piece suggests another; colours lean toward each other; curves begin to echo and respond. Before long, a rhythm emerges. Each of these 24×24” fabric collage paintings was born from that contemplative process. Each work begins with symmetry, a grounding composition of curvaceous shapes that offers balance and calm. Within that framework, I improvise with patterned textile fragments. The compositions feel both ancient and contemporary, like ceremonial objects reimagined for the present moment. Working on each piece has been deeply soothing. The repetition of selecting, cutting, and arranging becomes its own ritual, a way of settling into the present. $850
Cutaways I & II – Celebrating the Beauty of What’s Left Behind
My new textile art series, Cutaways, transforms salvaged scraps from garment-making into abstract textile collages, each piece a meditation on incompleteness and intuitive composition. Set against satin backdrops, these embroidered velvet offcuts revel in the tactile poetry of bricolage: spontaneous juxtapositions, layered textures, and the serendipity of assembly. Like collage, they defy linear storytelling, inviting multiplicity, mystery, and the quiet power of what was never meant to be whole.
Two Paintings Juried Into McMaster Innovation Park’s Art in the Workplace Exhibition on view until October 28, 2026
Rooted in the primal clash of natural forces, “Elemental Rift” channels the raw energy of a world in flux. Earth shifts. Power surges. Chaos and beauty collide in a visceral dance, an ode to nature’s untamed spirit. Political tension, personal reckoning, and the elemental language of colour converge in “Flashpoint Rising”. While I was working on it, the world felt perched on a precipice. Everywhere, the atmosphere seemed charged, brittle, one spark away from ignition. That sense of collective crisis found its way into the canvas. Pressure becomes transformation, the beginning of something new.
New Photo Art Portfolio
A vivid celebration of one of the world’s most enduring flowers
In my newest photo art portfolio, I feature nearly 50 close-up lilies photographed in gardens and garden shows across Canada. The images reveal the intricate textures, luminous hues, and quiet moments of unfolding beauty held within each bloom.
Arranged in a gentle progression of colour, the portfolio moves from vibrant oranges and yellows through soft pink‑tinged whites to a final crescendo of dazzling pink and rose‑coloured lilies. Rooted in centuries of symbolism and photographed with attentive care, Lilies: Beauty Unfolded offers a simple invitation: pause, look closely, and let beauty unfold. This portfolio is now available on Amazon as a keepsake, print-on-demand photo book $14.99 & eBook $4.99
