Another year another series started! This one is bringing it back to flowers and gardens. Which are always some of my favourite paintings to work on! I love the variety of colours, textures, and differing levels of delicacy that I get to interpret through paint. To me there is nothing more appealing to paint than plants and nature.

I am a dedicated tea drinker. I start my day in the studio with it and end the day with a nice hot cuppa. I have never been much of a coffee drinker, though I have learned to drink what my mennonite family calls “a polite cup of coffee”, which is essentially to accept a cup of coffee when that is offered over tea and is the expected drink.
