I am moving a few posts from my old blog to this new website. I like starting again.
From “In the Bus” by Grace Paley:
“…Hey you
begin again
Again?
again again you’ll see
it’s easy begin again…”
A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words
Thank you to all who came by my studio during the recent Eastside Culture Crawl. It was full of many fun and interesting conversations.
This week, I started a custom piece for someone, shipped a painting to its new owner in Belgium and tinkered with a personal painting project exploring how interior lives can be far more chaotic and uncertain than exterior facades. This photo shows A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, but a Thousand Words Is Not Enough, a work in process on interiors, exteriors and expectations. (November 2014)
Prints & Peacock Feathers
It was fun to see my work in this photo of this gorgeous fireplace in Josie Maran’s home tour in the September 2014 issue of Lonny Magazine. I love the peacock feathers.
Stillness
Capturing the quiet charm in my studio.
“baby, air and light and time and space/have nothing to do with it…” (Charles Bukowski) but I do love this space.
Discovery: Air
It was a full house at the opening of Discovery: Air exhibition at the Seymour Art Gallery. Thank you for curating such a diverse exhibition. I was extremely honoured to receive the 2014 Carole Badgley Emerging Artist Award. (January 2014)
Summer Snapshot
The summer held a good change in pace, including time spent painting outdoors at UBC farm, especially the apple orchard, and even a day painting on a tug boat. (September 2013).
She Wears Black Diamonds
During the summer, a number of artists painted aboard the SS Masterhistoric tugboat docked at Granville Island. Some of the works created on the SS Master, includingShe Wears Black Diamonds, will be shown in Water Works, an exhibition curated by Jeanne Krabbendam for the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

P.S. Take a peek at my paperworks on the SFMOMA tumblr and again at SFMOMA tumblr.
Pond Reflection
The art committee at UGM selected Pond Reflection I & II (diptych) 24×48 for their rotating gallery. I am happy to help add some colour to their facility which helps provide transitional housing in downtown eastside Vancouver. (June 2012)
