3753 – Heart Strings Acrylic skins & Mixed media on Canvas 14 x 11 inches, Framed What pulls at your heartstrings? Our hearts are our most sensitive organ, responding to every emotion we feel. While creating acrylic skins for an art show, a heart-shaped skin from my paint palette provided the initial inspiration for this painting. I added more heart-shaped pieces to represent the people and things we love, and a fine raffia for the strings that intersect and connect them all. Heart strings are those things that powerfully affect our emotions and reference our deepest feelings of love and compassion. Share and...

3750 – Autumn Apparition: Embrace Acrylic Skins on Canvas 40 x 30 inches, Framed SOLD My love of trees is evident in many of my paintings, so it was no surprise when one in a friend’s garden provided inspiration for Autumn Apparition.

3749 – One Voice Acrylic Skins on Canvas 16 x 20 inches, Framed My goal in creating this painting with acrylic skins was to present an image of unity of all mankind. No matter your skin colour, we are all part of the human race – we are one. The piece developed a musical quality as it evolved and I loved the idea of all peoples singing together with one voice. It also loosely took on the shape of an Inukshuk, translated means in the image of humans. The Inuit have used these as directional markers as a way of indicating where people lived. I liked the idea of my painting being a signpost showing the direction to find all...

3739 – Weaver of the Universe – Creation of Earth Acrylic & Mixed Media on Canvas 16 x 16 inches, unframed With Weaver of the Universe, I wanted to convey the creation of the universe and in particular our planet, Earth, using the colours of water and earth as the primary hues. The process of weaving is complex with many elements (threads or fibres) arranged in a multitude of patterns and designs, just like our planet and by extension, the universe. Share and Enjoy...
