Summer 2026 — New Rooms and Active Work

This summer, the work is gathering in several places at once: the basement studio, a new nearby studio space, and the walls at home where pieces that have been waiting are being stretched, framed and hung. The new studio has already changed how I see the work. Larger canvases can breathe, older rolled pieces can come back into view, and different strands are starting to speak to one another more clearly.

At the moment, I am reviewing sketches from my travels to Madeira, England, Spain, and Newfoundland; revisiting older cat paintings and gestural work; developing pearl and metallic faces and figures; and slowly returning to the Tall Ladies, which are still very much in process.

Newfoundland has also resurfaced as a strong visual impulse: rock edges, white forms, coastlines, icebergs, charcoal, ink, and large paper. Some of that may begin as more physical, two-handed drawing in the basement studio.

This page remains a loose record of what is active now: work under completion, work returning from storage, and new directions beginning to take shape.

New Studio

Loving my new studio — a two-room space for scale, storage and seeing.

Works Joining the Walls at Home

Ollie and other finished pieces are being framed and brought into daily view.

Newfoundland and Smaller works under review

Plein air pastel works on paper from Newfoundland are gathered on the basement studio wall alongside small watercolour and metallic face studies. Reviewing my smaller sketches is informing where to go next with my large scale works.

Still evolving.
