PAINTINGS 2016

 In 2016 I bought a home in Saskatoon and began to move from my home in Bellingham. First living only summers in this new home and returning to a studio-less apartment in B'ham while my husband awaited his permanent residency. The pieces below came out of that first summer.

Over the years I have attempted four. I like to consider how great the distance between elements of the piece on display before the piece no longer reads as one entity.

 memories of those hot hot Saskatchewan summer days. And the narrow little road that was only open to traffic in the summer. A great road for those sunday after church leisurely drives 'looking at the crops'. Lots of little hills at which dad would gun the motor of the car so that on the downhill we would get that roller-coaster lurch to the stomach. Sweet laughter.

paintings 2008 -2011

Between 2008 and 2011I moved out of my home studio and into a studio in downtown Bellingham, Here I continued my exploration on board and canvas. Became an Edge Graduate through Washington State's Edge Program. And became part of the art community of B'ham. My work began to reflect the land in which I know lived; its oceans and dark skies. Moving from cadmium reds and  yellows to phalo greens and dioxine purples.

PAINTINGS 2002-2007

From 2006-2011 I moved away from works on paper and onto works on board or canvas. I was experimenting with colour and movement. As well, they seemed to reflect the places in which I had  lived and played: the prairies of Canada and the Rockies of Colorado. Many paintings contain a reflective and meditative quality; I called them my Horizons. Others were simply exhuberant displays of energy
