2023 – Chapter 2: Watercourse, DMU’s, Highwood Gallery & High River Showcase!

2 months into the year, seven paintings in and 20+ digital mash ups! Still experimenting with lots of new things and loving the journey. I am normally a fairly tidy painter, meaning: I don’t wear a smock, apron or painting clothes. BUT this most recent painting cost me a pair of pants. Tough to paint in an orderly fashion when you are literally using every color in the studio! Brushes, palettes & paint EVERYWHERE!

 

Water is such a beautiful metaphor for life. Incredibly powerful and yet infinitely gentle; it always finds a way, nourishing everything along its path.

 

 “Watercourse”

More experimentation with digital edits! The background is a photo I took (I love rainbows/reflections/iridescence) overlapped digitally with a scrollwork motif painted in acrylic. (Henceforth known as “Digital Mash Ups” or DMU) ;)

I wandered in to a local gallery this past week in search of treasures and ended up with a great opportunity to exhibit my work! (and did indeed find a couple treasures) I am thrilled to be included amongst so many talented artists at Highwood Gallery & Gifts! They have an incredibly diverse collection with something for everyone to enjoy! Pop in and check out the visual feast! 413 1st St. SW. High River, AB

 


IT’S SHOWTIME! 


Gearing up for my first live exhibit of the year - and first time ever at this event! Showcase High River will be featuring a little bit of everything that High River has to offer. An excellent opportunity to connect & re-connect with all of the amazing local products, services & resources. I’ll be there with a full display of the most recent works, painting live and being ridiculous! Hope to see you there!
