Here & There: Paintings of home
Paintings of our Montréal condo and our coastal house in Nova Scotia that seem to unintentionally mirror each other (painted years apart)
I love to create these intimately personal scenes around the house. It can be like a visual diary of sorts to have these quiet interior paintings of corners of my home. The spaces themselves, the light, and the items used and loved are all reflected in these little personal snippets of life…
Behind-the-Scenes: How I Paint From Life
Top tools, quick composition process, painting plein air, and more

Moody Paintings of Interiors
The curiosity & excitement that comes when your work takes on new directions
I’ve been working my way through a self-directed online painting class. It’s supposed to be a landscape painting class, but since it’s been snowy and cold outside, I’ve been painting any and every scene I can find around our Montreal condo. It’s been an unexpected treat to have these paintings to remember our place by when we move to our farmhouse in Nova Scotia.
Painted Story: We Bought a Farm
The story behind our move from city to country
This is the first in a new series of featured Painted Stories. These are painted portraits of a home, business, or place that is important to someone and the story that accompanies it. I hope you will love seeing the spaces that are important to people, learning a part of their story, and seeing it in painted form. I thought for this first post, why not start with myself?
