Whats New Update

This has been another busy week.The weather has been a little less than desirable so I have spent a lot of time indoors ...and you know what that means .Lots of time to spend on the thing I love most(aside from my children) ART. Since I am currently off work for the summer I am dedicating my time to creativity,learning and exploring new techniques and options in the art world. 

The craft market was a lot of fun it was held on July 1st in Abbotsford on the most beautiful setting an old farm yard ShowUsYourCraftArtisansMarket is the face book link .The market is being held every

second Sunday 9-4 

I also spent the day  in Vancouver  with my Dad and my daughter. We took a short trip down to Deep Cove. I was again inspired by the beauty of the water , the quaint shops and the artwork I saw . I find myself always noticing the unique beauty around and thinking of ways to try and capture it. I contacted my cousin in Norway who's art has been very inspirational to me as well and she offered me some techniques to help me with this next piece .I am really excited to be able to add and explore another medium to my creative process 

Stay tuned ..................I am trying to keep this updated more often

Victoria Gothic

I have been inspired lately by many different areas and ideas in my life and my surroundings . As I am still working on my pieced for the craft market I am also trying some other ideas some butterfly art and quotes which I will post once I have completed fully. This piece I finished was an idea that started as I was looking through pictures of Victorian era gowns. I wanted her to be romantic and mystical, while I was painting I decided to add in the black raven making the piece have a feeling of darkness and mystery ,I really love this picture

Hello Sunshine

Well it has been a busy month . What have I been doing ??? I cant even remember most of it but I know it has been busy . As moms we are always busy getting the kids ready off to school, and now it is almost the end of the year yippee!!! My oldest is graduating and hopefully getting a job, the middle child is hopefully passing all subjects and my youngest is sad the year is over. I am wondering what we are going to do all summer so we don't drive each other CRAZY....
I have  had a few opportunities arise with my art that are very exciting ,I have a space at Pheonix Spa And Artisan Gallery in Hope B.C to sell some art. I also have connected with The Clayburn Gourmet Gallery   Coffee House in Abbotsford B.C and have some pictures, calendars and art cards for sale there.
