Seeking Beauty



 We've been spending some time in a remote part of Thailand this winter, & the sun has been revitalizing. Beauty is in all the details...You only have to look!

The Marigold Dispatch

A dispatch of elegant ladies are delivering flowers across a sun drenched landscape. Perhaps this floral delivery will be used for a celebration of sorts...Painted in different hues of vivid & soft yellows, magentas & reds. Inspired by my sweet childhood memories of a beautiful India & the stunning visuals imprinted on my mind of marigold sellers in Kashmir... 

This painting measures 31.5" (inches) in diameter & is available FOR SALE SOLD

Always Like This


A mama is on her way to town via bicycle, with a little one in tow for the adventure. If only things could always be like this...The grapefruit sunset colours melt into each other, giving it a glowing warmth; while the ground is a soft rose that blends into a warm magenta, patterned with fresh mint & lime petals. 
 Inspired by the the beautiful & intricate textiles of both India & Mali. 

This painting is 31.5" in diameter, & is available for sale SOLD.

Oh Baby!

We are very excited about a tiny future baby arrival! I'm nearly halfway there. I have been busier than ever painting away, feeling more inspired than ever & plan to keep painting after baby arrives. We took this photo this weekend with a little nod to the album cover from the real "The Mamas & The Papas".

A Day with Mama



A mama is fetching water to take home across a calm landscape, while her little one pitter patters hurriedly behind her; intent on helping her as best she can. The soft blue textured sky melts into a warm glow, while the varying shades of cyans, indigos & vivid red pattern in the ground dance playfully. Inspired by my adorable nieces & their amazing mamas, & the beautiful & intricate textiles of both India & Mali. 

This painting measures 31.5" (inches) in diameter, & is available SOLD.

Vroom Vroom


Hurtling down a beautiful road on a lovely day, off on yet another adventure....Inspired by a dear friend who really really adores his very fast automobiles, & his beautiful little family! (I wonder if he would approve of my affinity for mint condition vintage Fiat 500 cars?)....
This painting is 27" x 27" & is SOLD.
