My art was selected for cover of the summer edition of the Airdrielife magazine 😃 I’m so pleased with how it turned out - even in a photo the texture is still showing through 😊
Big thanks to airdrielife magazine for choosing me 😊

Giving focus to the layers of these collages with frames that lets the artwork speak for itself.

The floating frames finally arrived and I got them painted yesterday and mounted my last four pieces in my small series called Vast, an exploration of the vastness, spread and breath of the Alberta prairies. I’m really pleased with how these all came together. I’ll be adding these to the album labelled Vast if you’d like to see the whole series.

‘Petals In Relief’

20”x20” mixed media collage on gallery depth canvas.

I spent a lot of time layering hand-painted and textured paper to get that specific movement and delicate texture in the poppy petals. It feels so good to see it all come together on the canvas.

‘After The Storm’ 20”x20” mixed media on canvas.

The last piece in my Vast series is now complete. This piece was a study of the tension and high contrast created by winter storms across golden stubble fields and grasses. I’m hoping to have captured movement with lines, marks and texture to have successfully created the visual break between the deep blue storm sky and the golden glow of the leftover crop below.

This was definitely a challenge as I don’t typically work with such huge swings in contrast, but now I want to do more 😊

Thank you Lee McClean for the beautiful reference image 😊
