A few things from lately.⁠ ⁠ I’ve been at our temp A few things from lately.⁠
⁠
I’ve been at our temporary place while we wait for the keys to our new home, and my studio is still very much a work in progress. The renovations are taking longer than expected, so I’m only sort of in there for now. I’m very ready for the day when I can actually settle into a studio routine again.⁠
⁠
Our shipment from Canada arrives later this month, which means my art supplies are finally on their way. Yippee!⁠
⁠
In the meantime, I’m noticing autumn creeping in. The colours are changing, the lake is getting colder, and I keep finding myself stopping to look at shapes and textures I probably would have walked right past before.⁠
⁠
I’ve also made a friend, found an art store in Zurich, started German classes, and discovered Nepalese dumplings at the Chur train station. The important things.⁠
⁠
October feels like it might be the month where some of this starts to settle into place. We’ll see.⁠

Bodies of Water | Series⁠ ⁠ This body of work is a Bodies of Water | Series⁠
⁠
This body of work is an ongoing exploration of water through colour, movement, layering, and mark making. ⁠
⁠
Each painting takes a slightly different approach, but together they share a sense of fluidity and atmosphere.⁠
⁠
Two pieces from the series, each with its own rhythm and character.⁠

Once a piece leaves the studio, it becomes part of Once a piece leaves the studio, it becomes part of a new space, a new home. I love seeing how the work interacts with different interiors. ⁠
⁠
A little ode to the pieces that have found their forever homes, and to the people who chose to bring my work into theirs.⁠
⁠
I’m always grateful to see where the work goes next.⁠

It’s been fun to work with a medium that behaves s It’s been fun to work with a medium that behaves so differently from my usual acrylic and ink - more fluid, more immediate, and with a mind of its own.⁠
⁠
This is one of the larger pieces I’ve been working on, and I’m enjoying seeing how some of the ideas and ways of working from my other bodies of work begin to translate into watercolour.⁠
⁠
Still experimenting, still figuring it out, and enjoying the process.⁠

I thought it might be fun to open up the conversat I thought it might be fun to open up the conversation.⁠
⁠
I’m starting a little Q&A series here where you can send me questions about art, abstract painting, my process, moving to Switzerland, finding inspiration in a new place - or anything else you’re curious about.⁠
⁠
I’ll be collecting questions through my stories + comments and answering some of them along the way, with a monthly video or conversation to bring them together.⁠
⁠
No question is too specific, too simple, or too random!⁠
⁠
Ask me some things. I’d love to hear what you want to know.⁠

A little experiment from Switzerland.⁠ ⁠ I’ve been A little experiment from Switzerland.⁠
⁠
I’ve been giving myself permission to work in different ways lately - trying new materials, making smaller pieces, and seeing what happens when I follow an idea without knowing exactly where it’s going.⁠
⁠
These watercolour pieces are one of those early explorations. It’s still very much a work in progress, but I’m enjoying the process of discovering what this new chapter might bring to the work.⁠
⁠
More to come.⁠

Same Same But Different | 06⁠ ⁠ Two pieces made al Same Same But Different | 06⁠
⁠
Two pieces made alongside one another, sharing the same starting point but each finding its own way.⁠
⁠
I love noticing the small differences; where a mark changes, where colour builds up or disappears, and where something unexpected begins to show through.⁠
⁠
Together, they feel connected without needing to be identical.⁠

I’ve been slowly finding my rhythm here in Switzer I’ve been slowly finding my rhythm here in Switzerland. Exploring, taking in the landscape, making small works, and collecting plenty of inspiration along the way!⁠
⁠
September will bring a few new beginnings too. I have some meetings lined up in Davos to connect with the creative community here, and I’ll also be starting German classes mid-month. I’ve been practising on my own, but I’m looking forward to actually being in a classroom and meeting some new people. ⁠
⁠
Still settling in, still exploring, and very much taking it all in.⁠
