This past weekend at @artnowfineartfair with @derv This past weekend at @artnowfineartfair with @dervilia_art_design!

Three new pieces inspired by nostalgia of days gone by and some intrusive thoughts when life isn't quite how you imagined it to be.

Thank you to @creativesask for your support and allowing me to make this work.

"Take Me Way Back" - 20" X 24"

This feels like a full circle moment a year in the This feels like a full circle moment a year in the making!

At Art Now 2025 I was approached by @creativesask to encourage me to apply for a grant. I (a bit reluctantly) applied and was awarded the Business Improvement grant to purchase a Canon EOS RP to take my own reference images. I have three brand new pieces this weekend at Art Now in the @dervilia_art_design gallery space that are a result of this grant and the photos I captured into paintings.

I can't wait for you to see them and hope to see you there!
Been very neglectful in documenting these pieces b Been very neglectful in documenting these pieces but I've been working on some really fun things this summer in so many amazing colors! Coming to a wall near you this fall! 😉

Do you ever just get sick of your own shit? 😅 As Do you ever just get sick of your own shit? 😅

As I think every artist can attest, I can make a good mess but as a self proclaimed tidy painter it makes me insane and much less productive. With the first layer done on the 4 pieces on the go, it was time for a reset so I have some clear space to mix paint.
Squarely in the "trust the process" stage, working Squarely in the "trust the process" stage, working on the first layer of 4 pieces simultaneously... Well not simultaneously, I've only got one painting arm. 🤪 Concurrently?

Feeling human enough to get back to painting post Feeling human enough to get back to painting post Quebec travels and the cold I found along the way. Leaning into some fun colors that I don't usually have the opportunity to use. Traveling may have knocked out a bit but it did leave me with plenty of inspiration. ❤️

I have been undertaking a brand new project behind I have been undertaking a brand new project behind the lens which will ultimately start to shift to behind the paint brush. 

It has been my goal for some time to start taking more of my own reference photos. Thanks to @creativesask I have been able to embark on that journey. My basement has been turned into my photo studio.

Also, who knew my baking skills would come in handy as an artist. 

The goal in these pieces is to be colourful and weird and all about finding joy in the beautiful mess of life.
