Something new has been quietly taking shape in the studio

I started pottery classes not knowing what would come of it — just curious. But somewhere between underglaze and kiln fire, these pieces began to feel like small, functional extensions of my paintings.

The same lines. The same sense of landscape and movement. Just held differently.

There’s something tender about seeing your visual language translated into clay — imperfect, tactile, alive.

I’m not sure where this chapter is going yet… but I’m listening.

What a great opening night for Painting the West

This painting is still available,
1000 meters high, 12x12” acrylic painting on gallery canvas

This painting captures a beautiful arbutus tree at the top of a hike I spotted on Mount Douglas. The arbutus 🌿 Native to the western coastal areas of North America, this wild beauty thrives on rocky, sun-soaked south-facing slopes and is famously difficult to transplant.

Its glowing orange-red bark peels like snakeskin, revealing a smooth satin trunk beneath. An evergreen, it flowers in spring and produces red berries in the fall — a tree that’s always evolving.

With its twisting, sculptural trunk and warm coastal colours, it’s one of my favourite forms to sketch into a landscape. 🌲✨

Art that warms a room 😊 this painting will be available for the on February 12
