Acrylic and marker on canvas.

My favourite season is autumn. I often find myself staring outside my studio window for hours on end when the cooler weather comes around and the colours start to change. This piece was inspired by a late September trip to the Haliburton area. Trees danced lakeside as they shed their green summer outfits into colourful autumn ones.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My creative methods include painting, stitching (by machine and by hand), writing and hand papermaking. My work explores themes of slowness, the passage of time, of juxtapositions, and of regeneration. Much of my work incorporates methods and materials that are highly tactile and require time in their development. Through my practice I aim to counter the frenetic pace of our highly digitized age where faster is often deemed better. Many of my mixed media abstract landscapes and paintings are influenced by my daily walking practice where I attune to the many non-human lifeforms we share our planet with.
