Firstly, if you are reading this, thank you for sticking with me through my extended blog silence! I appreciate that you are still here!

My blogging silence has been a result of preparing a house for sale, putting it up for sale, looking for a new house in a new city, buying this house, moving into it and getting it into liveable shape! Yes, I do love a project, but this one has been a doozie!

This meant months of very little painting and no international travel, and therefore, not much to write about.

The great news is, that after all this delay and toil, I have a new studio and I’m painting again finally! The better news is that this compact studio space also has gallery walls and shelving, and I am so pleased that I can now host you with personalised visits – to see the displayed or archived art, explore what’s on the easel in progress, and have a good old conversation!

In this space, I have a large selection of originals out on display, along with prints and notebooks. Basically, ALL my art is available here!

So where is this place of artistic wonderment, you ask?

I am now in Stratford Ontario, a small city known for its world-class theatre and restaurants. Located about 2 hours west of Toronto along the pretty Avon River, it’s a popular day trip from the nearby bigger cities (when I lived in Toronto, we came here often). It’s also surrounded by a vibrant agricultural community with food, bike and nature trails (see here). There’s so much to do in this area… in addition to visiting my studio-gallery!

If you aren’t anywhere near my city, province or in Canada for that matter, we can still connect, as I will be back to more regular blogging to share my new art and the inspiration stories for its creation. My original art is always available online too so you can find it here without needing a plane ticket!

Thanks again for sticking with me, and I look forward to getting back into conversation with you all!
