Come to Light

Here we are, in that time of year where we stop to reflect. I have not done much stopping over the past few years. The studio is booked solid well into 2019 and my day job takes up much of…

I Did It Last Time

It was 3am on a snowy night recently, our 13-year-old Newfoundland dog, Poppy, was stirring in the night. She’s been like this for a while now, and we’ve been getting up with her and letting her out. Part of it…

The Awakening of Happiness

The Graces of Knowing

I had a memory pop up this week. I think I must have been around age three.  I feel like I was in one of those snow suits that resemble the letter t, arms straight out either side.

The Love Response

I’ve been thinking a lot about love these days. The capacity we have for it, how misinterpreted it can be. At the risk of sounding, wait for it ... middle aged (gasp) I have finally arrived at a place where…Read more

We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.

I have an elderly relative that tells this story of going to the ballet (The Nutcracker) and her younger niece (who was only 6 or 7 at the time) was badly behaved and ruined the show for her. She tells…Read more

Cheering for Earth's colours - Blue, Green and Wonderful

I gather it’s the Superbowl today. I’ve never been much for sports, but when I lived in the US, I did attend my share of Superbowl parties and I do understand the draw. It’s a reason to celebrate with friends…Read more

IDLE NO MORE - Power to the people.

It’s raining here. The snow is gone, replaced with puddles and a mist that stretches beyond my sight lines. There’s something about a foggy, rainy day that makes me want to hide in my studio, in a world where weather…Read more
