Recent Paintings

Currently working on my Penelope's Garden Series (I am having a ball painting scenes from this Garden. Very inspired by my Mom's garden in Victoria) and Pirate's Cove Series.

I stopped working on a painting of the Chemainus Theatre and are working on a painting called Old Growth as well as a painting dedicated to the Firefighters in Kelowna, BC

In 2004 I will be painting a series of Mayan images based on the Dresden Codex. More to come on this topic.

May 2004 Update:

Completed "Snow Dreams", a watercolor original being donated to the Ronald McDonald House charity auction ( Nov 2004 ). This painting portrays the incredible amount of snow in the Rockies and the opportunity for our youth to discover the beauty that winter snow can bring while under the protective gaze of the majesty of the Rockies. More details to come.

Sales on prints have been very good and I am very pleased with the incredible support I have received. Also in the news, I am working on a winter scene for Ronald MacDonald House (for their gala Auction in November as well as Christmas Cards). It's tentatively called Snow Dreams and will be completed at the end of May.

Work on the 4th painting in my Penelope's Garden Series is coming along well.This painting is 22" x 30" and is being documented with my digital camera to show the various stages I go through. Check out my Gallery and Recent Work pages. I also updated my Artist Statement and biography.

As an avid reader, I also have listed full descriptions of what I feel are the best Watercolor books on the market. These can be reviewed and then purchased via our online store.

This site also provides a gallery of my paintings, recent work, tools used and my journey from dreamer to watercolor artist. My favorites sites page displays sites of other artists I admire and sites I frequent. One of my goals is to make this a site that new watercolor artists like myself can stop by for updates and information. My success with this interest has been largely dependent on the support I have received from family and fellow artists.

This site is updated 3-4 times a month. I expect to display some demo's and details on how I paint and stories behind the work that I paint. Enjoy!

Recently donated the "Hidden Moments" painting to the Dawson Creek Hospital Foundation. This painting was the grand prize in the Secretaries Luncheon. The Grand Prize Winner was Susan Arseniuk. Framing and mats donated by Picture It.
