Captured Moments (Blue) - 2021

I tore through the prints and stencils I judged as "rejects" and stitched them together as symbolic gesture of healing and building something new and positive from the fragments of the past.

A City Changing

As I walk around the city of Victoria, my home, I am struck by the massive changes as the race to house the population speeds up. There is a certain beauty in this industriousness. I feel the energy in the vehicles and have tried to capture a sense of this in my work

Tides Out at the Lagoon

I don't fully understand why the movement of the tides affects me so deeply. And the tides have been so low of late. This tide is on its way out and provides a view to the sea's floor. perhaps the unveiling of this inner is why I am so touched. This painting was done 'en plein air' on a perfect weather day.

Brickyard Beach, Gabriola

This painting is something that I received in my imagination and searched out reference photos to put it all together. The ravens evoke feelings of cleverness, mischief, ancient power, movement and slyness in me. The cliffs give me a feeling of massiveness, hardness and immovability and also fear (I have height phobia). Its interesting to me, on reflection, that I have created something with such harsh feelings when I am attempting to move outside my comfort zone.

Daffs on Beacon Hill

In spite of unseasonable cold, the daffodils have made their appearance everywhere. Beacon Hill Park is in the middle of Victoria and there are cultured areas and natural areas. To drive along our Dallas Road with the ocean on one side, and the hill of daffodils on the other , is a treat. The sun made a break though, just warm enough and long enough to do this painting.
