I began this project with a 'Muse'. I received my copy of Gray Magazine [www.GrayMag.com - Seattle] with covers interiors, architecture, fashion, art and design. The well written cover headline/story, and the beautiful photograph completely inspired me. The image reminded me of Frida Kahlo, and the fashion designer Paloma Hurtado, has a great story. The headline read, "When you come as an immigrant to the U.S., you develop a thick skin. It drives you to be successful. To do things...even if you don't feel prepared." As an artist who has also been schooled in design and fashion design, this cover just needed to stay with me a little longer. So, I tore it off one of my favourite magazines and hung it in my little studio and began. Each painting in this ongoing series has a common 'thread. They were all painted independently, in part because my studio isn't large enough to line them all up around the space. To me the photo encompasses so much. Beauty. History. Struggle. Inspiration. Determination. Colour.
I hope when see these paintings you will feel what I felt. They are more than the violets. They tell a story. #contemporaryartist #painting #painter #art #modernart #contemporaryart #liveartloveart #Frida

Well, it is exciting to be on this platform!
A little about me. For almost 30 years I was a visual communicator, doing everything from magazine design and production, illustration to branding on Vancouver Island (a 15 minute float plane ride to Vancouver). About 10 years ago I began scheduling in time to paint. My clients got used to my new availability schedule and I poured myself into my art. For the last few years painting has filled my schedule. My works sell worldwide. In early September, I have a solo show in our nation's capital, Ottawa, Canada.
