It's almost time for my biggest art show of the year!
I’ll be joining the wonderfully talented & stylistically diverse group of artists in the Salt Spring Island Painters’ Guild in displaying new works at ArtSpring from June 23rd through July 5th.
I will be debuting 4 new paintings that I am particularly fond of, and will also have greeting cards available to purchase.
Hope to see you there!
I’m so happy to have participated in this event for the third year. I’m a big fan of Pacific Wild and all they do for wildlife in BC.
My piece this year was inspired by a visit to Haida Gwaii, and features a trio of black bears foraging for crabs along a forested shoreline in Gwaii Haanas National Park.

I had so much fun participating in the Opus Daily Practice challenge this February!
This year, I decided to practice a more illustrative style I’ve been meaning to explore. I learned a whole lot, and ended up with a few pieces that I quite like! Check out a few of my favourites in the gallery below.
You can see the whole series over on my Instagram page. And be sure to check out the pieces that other artists created this year- search for the hashtag OpusDailyPractice2021 to find them on Instagram.

Name: Song Of The Sea Wolf
Size: 11 x 8.5” matted to 14 x 11”
Material: Watercolour on 100% cotton cold pressed paper, with a 100% cotton archival museum mat
I was introduced to the Sea Wolves that make the islands and inlets of Northern BC home through the photography of Ian McAllister, whose portrait of a lovely fluffy wolf inspired this painting. The pup is set against a misty coastal backdrop drawn from several my own photos taken while travelling along the coast.
To me, the song of a wolf’s howl is not something to be feared- it is beautiful and mysterious… as are the wolves themselves. Pacific Wild’s efforts to end the controversial and inhumane BC wolf cull are very important and close to my heart. I hope that through their efforts, and through the kindness of people like you, we can show the province and the world that these beautiful, intelligent animals are deserving of respect and protection.
It's that time again!
