Lawrencetown Trio

Mini L’Town Beach (top):
If you've ever traveled to the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, you'll recognize this left point at Lawrencetown Beach. This is my favorite walk with my dogs at low tide in the morning. The air smells clean, sweet and so fresh, almost like cucumbers. The gentle waves lapping on the beach can take you a million miles away into the most peaceful daydream and yet you feel so present and aware of ever one of your senses...

Mini Morning Session (middle):
If you've ever enjoyed the ultimate peace and serenity of an early sunrise surf as the fog clears and the sun warms the sand, you just might find Mini Morning Session the perfect escape until the next one...

Mini Beach Break (bottom):
Who said the waves can be too small to have fun with?

Painted on a 5 x 7" canvas, 3/4" deep

Local Artist Series ~July Exhibition

This summer Seaforth Community Hall is hosting the Local Artist Series of community artist monthly solo exhibitions. Come check out my show this July. Photos don't do these paintings justice. They must be seen in person!

The Seaforth Community Hall is the most happening place on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, with a vibrant Crafter's & Farmer's Market on the 3rd Saturday of each month, concerts, and so much more!

Look at this amazing ocean view, what an inspiring place for a youthful hip community...

This 'n' That ~ Ceramics and Waterclours

The journey to finding my creative passion has been long and rewarding. My sister and I grew up with the freedom to make things and get our hands, experimenting with all sorts of artistic mediums.

A few years back I took a pottery course with a local ceramic artist, Carol Smeraldo. She was wonderful, introducing us to different projects including hand scultping with clay. I made this platter in one of her classes.

I fell in love with pottery. Shortly after I took the class I met a kind and generous local artist, Gloria Dunbar. She welcomed me into her studio with open arms and allowed me to use her wheel and kiln. I made a few pieces that I'm really happy with and gave most away for Christmas gifts. I haven't played with clay in years, but will someday return to this graceful craft.

I love the fluidity and vibrance of watercolours. Here is a little seascape I painted last year just for fun. I'd like to experiment a bit more with this medium. But at the moment I'm having way too much fun with the buttery texture of oil paints!
