Hello! Iβm a Canadian fine arts painter who celebrates our connection with nature.
I believe that idyllic images are snapshots in time that remind us to enjoy the beauty that nature presents.

ππ¨π Hello from @visualartsmississauga World Art Community Exhibition Reception & Fundraiser!
Last night’s event was a lot of fun and very lively. The gallery walls were packed with a range of interesting and beautiful artwork, people were bidding on silent auction items and chatting up a storm.
I’m delighted to have “Celebration of Summer” included in the exhibition that’s on until Sunday. I’ve also included some pics of other artwork at the show.
If you’re in the Mississauga area, come check out the show and take a walk through the Riverwood Conservancy grounds - with free admission.
Big thanks to VAM’s talented and supportive team for hosting the event and continuing to provide terrific programs throughout the year - you all rock!!

π¨ππ¨ It’s Reveal Day!
Here’s my newest painting - meet Ripple (24x36, acrylics on canvas).
I loved how the variety of fantastic cloud colours reflected on the calm water. It was a stunning sunset.
You can immerse yourself in this view for hours, don’t you think so?

π¨ππ¨ Painting all the different shades of rippling water reflecting the beautiful clouds was a hypnotic experience.
Don’t you just love sunsets? Can never get enough…

ππ¨πMagma Dawn is moving on!
I’m so happy this vibrant painting has a new collector who likes this piece as much as I do π₯°.
It’s an honour to have my artwork chosen by someone to have in their home.

ππ¨π Hello from the opening reception for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s Art and la Carte exhibition!
My painting “Bright Winter’s Day” will in the exhibition all year - a terrific showcase for Ontario artists.
Many thanks to Erin Budra from the Parliamentary Protocol and Public Relations Office for organizing and hosting a really lovely event. Such a great opportunity to meet fellow artists and have a private viewing of all the pieces.
And thanks to Aishling for providing a tour of the beautiful building and its fascinating history.
A fun night all ‘round!

π¨ππ¨ Hello from @oas_oakvilleartsociety Student Show & Sale!
It’s on this weekend only in Oakville, so if you’re in the area (560 Bronte Road) be sure to check out the terrific art from 1-4pm on Sunday.
As I was a student in one of the Society’s many art classes (took a great photography class with @ronvz_photography to help me take better reference photos), I could exhibit two paintings in this show - sweet!
Shown here are “Autumn Comes Early in Yellowknife” and “Haliburton Glory #1” - two pieces that highlight the incredible nature in our country.

πππ SOLD! “Canola Under Lightning” has found its forever home with a new collector.
I’m absolutely delighted! This piece was a joy to paint - I immersed myself in all the layers of electric yellow flowers under that dramatic stormy sky.
You might say it’s a striking painting π (okay, bad pun!)

π¨βοΈπ¨ Say hello to “Swirl” - featuring dramatic clouds at sunset over Glamor Lake in Haliburton!
I loved the movement and array of vibrant colours - isn’t nature wonderful!

π¨π³π¨ In addition to the final image and sample room shots of “Perched Sentinel”, I like sharing the process that captures the painting’s journey.
Taking photos after each painting session helps me to see what’s working and not - they give me a fresh perspective from the thumbnail size, and creates a diary at the same time. Useful on both counts!
This newest work will soon be on my website (link in my profile) but if you want to snap it up, let me know π.

π¨ππ¨ My first big painting of the year - say hello to “Perched Sentinel.”
Painted from a photo I took when visiting Tofino.
There’s something so special about trees and the roles they play as guardians and historians.

π¨ππ¨ Had fun at the opening reception of the You Do You exhibition @lesliegrovegallery.ca!
I was so happy that “Walk in the Woods” was accepted into this show. I loved my trip to Haliburton and took so many pictures of the lush autumn scenes. This is one of several paintings that came from that trip. If you’d like to see the other paintings (including spectacular sunsets), visit my website (link in my profile).
It was a very buzzy reception and made extra special by my friend’s attendance βΊοΈ.
Also shown are some of the other creations that caught my eye - such a variety of styles and media by talented artists.
Big shout out to the Leslie Grove Gallery team for displaying so many amazing pieces in an impactful way πππ.
The exhibition is on until February 25 - check it out in person or online: https://www.lesliegrovegallerystore

π¨ππ¨ Working on “Sunlight Bathing” for the Pi Art Squared Show in March.
It’s very meditative to draw and paint the trees!
Loving these round maple tondo panels from Rustic Burl π.

π¨ππ¨ Painting on the round wooden tondos from @rusticburlco is so much fun!
Watch some sped up video (if only I could actually paint that fast!) of me creating “Moonlight Bathing” - great combination of using a brush and acrylic paint markers for the fine detail in the tree silhouettes.
This new painting is for the Pi Art Squared Show in mid-March.
Thanks to my cousin Jen Barker Foster for the reference photo - she takes amazing shots in all seasons outside her home near Bancroft ON.

π¨ππ¨ Such fun to attend art exhibition opening receptions!
My first one of the year was at @visualartsmississauga last night for Why Do You Create?
I was so pleased that “Magma Dawn” was juried into this show, which is on in person until Feb 11 and online until June 30.
I enjoyed reconnecting with fellow artists @patriziabraschmosaics (shown with her beautiful mosaic Carve Your Own Path) and @frankmyersphoto (shown with his tranquil photograph Quiet Evening at Katherine Cove). And thanks to Patrizia for some of the photos shown!
I’ve also included a few snaps of other pieces that caught my attention, from:
- @anne.christi
- @lyndencowan
- Jan Elizabeth Seixas
Thanks to Visual Arts Mississauga and the jurors for an amazing exhibition - check it out!

π¨ππ¨ Feeling super happy (pumped, in fact) to participate in the March Pi Art Squared Show!
This will be my 2nd year of creating landscape paintings on 12” round maple panels (called tondos) from @rusticburlco.
Follow along @pi.art.squared to see what this talented group of 50 artists will create.
Stay tuned for more details - I’m already working on my first tondo and can’t wait to share it with you!
Big thanks to the Show pioneer @katetaylorartist and to the Art Alchemy group for supporting local art!
