sunrise
Good morning. You will read a lot of things today, I'm certain. Things that will make you angry, things that will make you cry, things that will make your stomach knot and wonder if you should leave the house, change jobs, break up with a partner, finally ask that person on a date, make you want...

the scottish watercolours
I've been struggling with being back in Edmonton. It's wonderful to be home and not living out of my backpack or car or both, but after so much travel and so much show prep, I am finding it difficult to just be still. Friends keep asking me 'where to next!' I respond 'my couch.' Nowhere, thankful...

september fields one
That means there'll be a number two! In September I was asked to lead a nature journaling class for Nature Conservancy Canada after they had a day of pulling down old fences on a new property they had acquired. I'd need the GPS coordinates to find the place again. It was a gorgeous drive and...

it always rains in thunder bay
OK, I admit that is not a fair statement as I have only been here twice, and it just so happens that both times it was raining. I like the rain, it's just not conducive to drawing outside, but that's fine. After a long day on the road with many stops, it's nice to hunker down in my little r...

torannah, and then west again
That is how they say it. The only 't' articulated is at the beginning and the rest are just skimmed over. I love it. Toronto, I love you. I've been here since last Friday and I leave here early tomorrow morning and begin picking my way slowly back westward. We've been exploring lots. W...

from ottawa
I arrived in Ottawa last night after two long days of driving, countless tailgaters, 5 cups of gas station coffee, roadside standing yoga that earned me a few concerned double-takes, two motel stays with way too many pillows for my own good and several glasses of wine consumed from paper cups. Ch...

then onward to winnipeg
But before I backtrack a few hours, there are some more drawings to share. I'm dawdling and I know it. I don't want to leave this quiet place just yet. I would like at least three more days to sit quietly by the water, walk through the woods and listen to the birds hatter about the coming winter ...

falcon trails
My great Canadian road trip began a few days ago. I am making my way slowly from Edmonton to Toronto and back again, making stops to see friends, new places, make art, take a shit ton of photos and scour the areas for tasty coffee. The first major stop is at the Falcon Trails Resort, which is ver...

you can almost taste it
I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why I've been on a good illustration kick the past couple of weeks. When you have one, please let me know? The only one i can really put my finger on at the moment is that I am illustrating them based on their colours; that is to say...

i blame my mom
I went over to my mom's last week to use her printer. While I was waiting for stuff to print we got talking about random things as we do, and the the conversation turned to this painting she saw once of a jar of pickles. She said she was quite taken with how the light played on the jar and the co...

winter is coming...
S'ok, this is not turning into a GOT fan club blog, as much as I enjoyed the books and dig the show. No, this post is about what is coming; namely my favourite season, more appropriate weather for donning all things knitted and flannel, and Christmas. I have painted 3 card designs, and these...

can't beet a good illustration
I've been having some fun the last week or so creating some watercolour illustrations for random projects. It started with this illustration for the cover of a 2017 calendar that was the brain child of thinkITEM (and you can follow those shenanigans on Instagram): ...

they came, and went
I am in love with Northern Canada, and I have only had the privilege of visiting it three times. Once I visited Fort Smith and Yellowknife, and twice now I have been to the Yukon and ventured a little ways into Alaska. It's enormous. It's sparsely populated. There is little to no cell reception o...

poems for me
Lately I find myself with more time, and a bit overwhelmed at this new prospect, but slowly, steadily, patiently (somewhat) I am finding my legs. There has been more picture taking and poem writing. I have no ideas if the poems (or the pictures) are any good, but I keep at it because I like it an...

no gold, little rush
Here are the sketches, photos and journal entries of our 5 day backpacking adventure hiking on the Chilkoot Trail from Dyea, Alaska to Lake Bennett, British Columbia. There are spelling errors and swears, but that's what happens with fatigue and recording things in the moment.
