After finishing a ten day retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico – I am inspired to create a new series of works using Williamsburg oil paints on Canvas. This landscape was so inspirational for me, and I cannot wait to work from all of my small studies. Throughout the retreat, I focused on creating works with a new color palette and really expressing the landscape through the physicality of the paint itself. By working with other visual artists in a beautifully lit studio, I was able to reflect on my work and really express this new series. Stay tuned for updates on these pieces.

The borders that connect us – acrylic on birch panel 36″ diameter 2000.00

This summer, after a series of special events and pop-ups, I have begun to continue my work on a new series. This typically means I start about 3 series of works and continue until I find a subject matter that I want to pursue.

Watercolors

I have enjoyed this season working in QoR watercolors, a highly pigmented line of watercolors from Golden Artist Colors. Though I have stuck to painting on traditional supports such as Arches Cold Pressed and Hot Pressed Papers – I have enjoyed the versatility of mark making with the vivacious colors and the portability of this series.

Textured Acrylics

As always – I continue my work with abstracting acrylic landscapes based on my travels through British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. I have switched my main texture to be Golden Coarse Molding Paste for a few weeks to experiment with a harsher texture, and I have also included metallic pigments into the landscapes.
