Delighted to be supporting Splash Art Auction (@au Delighted to be supporting Splash Art Auction (@au_splash) for Arts Umbrella (@artsumbrella) once again this year - and somehow, this marks my 12th year donating a piece!⁠
⁠
This year I’ve donated Paperworks Pathways 11 a b (2025), a diptych of smaller framed works on paper, made with acrylic and ink on Arches. Together, the two works measure 24 × 40 in. ⁠
⁠
The Pendulum Gallery Preview Exhibition runs from September 8 – October 1, with the 44th annual Splash Art Auction Gala taking place October 3 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The online auction also opens September 8 at 11:00 AM.⁠
⁠
Splash supports youth arts programming through Arts Umbrella, which is something very close to my heart. I'm always grateful to contribute to an event that helps make arts education and creative opportunities possible for young people.⁠
⁠
It’s always so wonderful to see so many artists come together in support of this cause.⁠
⁠
Tickets and the auction link are available through the link in my bio. ⁠

Yippee - it’s official! ⁠ ⁠ My application to Raum Yippee - it’s official! ⁠
⁠
My application to Raumestelle was accepted, and I’ll have a new studio space in Chur. ⁠
⁠
I’ll be moving in sometime in September while we work out the final details, and I couldn’t be more excited to have a space of my own again.⁠
⁠
I’m looking forward to finally putting some of this new landscape and everything I’ve been taking in here in Switzerland onto a larger scale, while also becoming part of the creative community in Chur.⁠
⁠
Most of all, I’m excited to begin settling into a new routine centred around my art practice. It feels like an important next step in this new chapter.⁠
More soon!⁠

Three months already.⁠ ⁠ It's hard to believe I've Three months already.⁠
⁠
It's hard to believe I've been settling into life in Switzerland for nearly a quarter of a year. There are still new places to discover and routines to build, but it's beginning to feel a little more familiar with each passing week.⁠
⁠
I'm grateful for everything this chapter has brought so far, and excited for everything that's still ahead.⁠

The final touch. ⁠ ⁠ Varnishing is one of those ex The final touch. ⁠
⁠
Varnishing is one of those extremely satisfying moments in the studio where a painting finally starts to come into its own. It deepens the colours, protects the surface, and gently pulls all the layers and marks together so the work can settle into its finished state.⁠
⁠
A small but important part of bringing a piece from the studio into the world.⁠

One of my favourite things about painting is how a One of my favourite things about painting is how a piece can change as you move closer.⁠
⁠
From afar, the work has one feeling. Up close, you begin to notice the small marks, gestures, and layers that make up the whole.⁠
⁠
There’s something special about the parts that ask you to slow down and spend a little more time looking.⁠

Over time, brushes, palettes, and well-used materi Over time, brushes, palettes, and well-used materials become part of the process in their own way. They're quiet companions in the studio, carrying traces of past paintings while helping shape the next ones.⁠
⁠
Simple things, used every day, that continue to inspire the act of making.⁠
