Turning A Corner

Ancient Shadows

Work in Paint, Thread, Wool & Silk

When I first started working seriously in the arts field I always viewed my work as something that was constantly evolving. So I guess I'm not all that surprised that I feel I've turned yet another corner......so to speak. Taking a new direction in my work isn't something I believe happened consciously but has been an ongoing process. Kind of like I put everything I've learnt up until now together and "here's what I've come up with". I also think my evolution toward working much more abstractly has been in the making for quite some time. At this point in my career it feels so freeing and unrestricted............anything seems possible.

Happy Belated Mother's Day

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.

My mother's day was just perfect. French toast with fresh fruit for breakfast and our friends Charlie and Joan over for dinner. I spent maybe 10 minutes in the studio and the rest of my day outside planting some flowers in the garden as well as pulling lots of weeds.

This is my "zen"cat Simba. Why do I call him a "zen" cat. His favourite thing to do is relax which reminds me to take time to do the same. A good reminder for all us.

Work is going wonderfully and I am really excited about the new pieces I will have for my show on June 23rd. Lots of colour and texture as well as acrylic paint on cotton. I'm even thinking of an abstract using dye on silk. I've still got some experimenting to do. Hope your mother's day was as lovely as mine.
