Had a lovely time at the Opening Reception for Archived Terrain – Terrain Archivé this past Friday night. A HUGE Thank You to everyone that came out on a busy evening, with less than ideal weather! We all had a busy night; lots of lovely conversations, and thoughtful comments. The best way to launch new work… Read More
As summer slips into Autumn, I am reminded that beauty lies in the moment, and in those details that provoke a little wonder. My thanks to eMorphes for the shot of colour on a grey Monday.
Scott and I will be doing an artist talk on Friday August 4! We will be gathering at Main & Station, 168 Main Street Parrsboro – at 7:30 pm. Looking forward sharing some background on our respective practices with people, and also discussing our collaborative project, Macromareal! Hope you can join us!
Had a lovely visit from fellow artist Emily Jan! She was in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on a short visiting-friends-and-seeing-new-things holiday, and fortuitously, it worked out that she could come to Parrsboro for a couple of days. We started at Partridge Island and the beach below Ottawa House, and then headed out to First Beach… Read More

It took a while to get here. It was a long way to come though – all the way from South Africa. I’d read about it, thought about it, wondered what I’d do when I got it, wondered what was inside. … and then I had it in my hands. Brought it home from the… Read More
A delightful little video called “Lost & Found” about an installation artist/sculptor/mad scientist named Blair Somerville … Have a peek HERE I have always had a soft spot for things like Rube Goldberg machines, automata and such like, and this work really makes me happy. I am quite taken with the way his slightly madcap… Read More
I’ve spent a lovely time over the last while catching up with family and friends. A very good thing, that reminds one on so many levels of precisely how rich life is, and how many blessings there are to count. Daily. In all that running-around-hanging-out-gatherings-feasts-grabbing-a-coffee-because-its-been-too long .. there has been such joy and laughter and… Read More
