Chair for African Grandma's -NanGo Grandma's Nanaimo Charity Fundraiser

This is the chair I painted for the Grandmothers for Grandmothers Nanaimo group.  It is a bit whimsical - entitled the Joyful Goddess.  It has words of inspiration and encouragment written on it as well.  I sincerely hope that it brings much pleasure to who ever wins it at the auction.  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to such a great cause. Go Grandma's Go -you rock!!

Deserted In Blue, Photo transfer on Canvas

This is a photo I took many years ago enroute from Edmonton to Saskatoon.  It is a deserted convent, so much history and all a bit eery. This is on a small 6" square gallery wrapped canvas. I have transferred the image and then painted and stamped into and around the photo transfer.

Life is Not a Spectator Sport, Mixed Media and Collage

This is a 12' Square gallery wrapped canvas.  I started it by gluing down images from magazines with nothing in mind.  I then started painting over the magazine collage and this runner appeared with a spectator in the background. Thought I would just run with it!!  Hence the title.

Ocean Serenity, Imitating Encaustic with Acrylics

This is a 8"x 8" gallery wrapped canvas that I tried to imitate the look of encaustic and am pleased with the results. I have several layers of gel medium built up and finished it with the soft gloss gel to give it a clouded effect. It has a lot of depth and I love the colours.

Barcelona Church Photo Transfer

This is part of a series of photo transfers I did on photos from Barcelona.

Tulips Rustica

In this painting of red tulips I used a crackle medium to emulate an old fence and create a framed effect for the tulips. I am pleased with the results.
