day 5 – what will become

I was looking through words and scraps of paper I had stored away and found these two unfinished watercolour experiments. I thought what will become of them? Then I asked what is it about these bits that inspires me, makes me smile, makes me see potential? I believe 2021 will be a quest to answer […]

day 4 – finding the light

All my thoughts of the moon has made me return to my writing archives. After doing a search for “moon” I found “she takes the moon” and thought I would share it. It was published in Sooke All Sorts – Sooke writers’ Collective, Anthology Five in 2018. The image is unrelated to the poem but […]

Today the rain is constant. No wind disturbs its journey. I watch the lines of water reaching down, from sky to earth, hear the thrum of water on our metal roof.  The sound changes rhythm and tone as clouds move overhead. I’ve tried several times to take a photo of what the rain is doing […]

Emotionally, physically and […]

execution & the pain of change

My new year always begins with my December birthday. Since that day I have been reviewing my process and progress – in art and in life. January 1st adds to the energy of my process. There is a confusion of advice about intentions, goals, planning and resolutions. For the most part I resist the noise […]

mandala inspiration

I like exploring many different media/mediums. The latest has been explorations with digital photography and photoshop and it has been an exciting journey. I’ve been creating mandala inspired images by combining and recombining a single image. I’ve used my photos of the local landscape, close-ups of things like plants, chameleon skin and shield lichen plus […]
