The best relationships are the ones you never expected to be in, the ones that sweep you off your feet and challenged you. They come on passionately, intensely, strong. You meet someone whose mind matches yours. Like these delicate petals I’ve been blown away by the incredible love and friendship of many people in my life.

When I was a kid I loved the luminescence of phyto plankton. Tossing a pebble into the sea and watching it all light up. Truly natures's art. Luciferas is the enzyme that produces bioluminescence.

We’ve all been in a place in our life where you knew you had to walk through fire to get to where you want. There is an opportunity to find a deeper strength within ourselves when life seems most challenging. Stand strong in the eye of the tornado, walk through the fire and make way in your life for something far greater.

There is something totally mesmerizing about a fire. They are a symbol of power and momentum. In fact, there are few things in nature as mighty as the white-hot intensity of a fire. It’s a source of energy that requires moderation or you WILL get burned. It may ignite with joy or anger, or offer life giving light and heat or destruction.

I’ve always been drawn to the ocean and the power it has to calm and energize you all at once. They say that standing next to a waterfall will refresh you and enhance your mood. This is because of negative ions which stimulate alpha brain waves which elevate your awareness levels. You might find over 100,000 negative ions in a single body of water.

Every summer across the vast Okanagan, you can see fires for miles. Beautiful and frightening at the same time, it’s hard to take your eyes away from this annual ritual. It reminds us of our fragility and how little we can do sometimes to curtail the inevitable. It is odd to think that something so destructive can contribute to such a glorious view.

The millions of sparkling lights and the veil of nighttime really make Vancouver cityscape so magnificent, especially in the reflection of its night’s waters. It makes everything askew, disoriented and even magical.  Still waters reflect the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the self is reflected in it.

White ice that forms when droplets of water from fog freeze to the surface. Looking through the window one frosty day I noticed the sun shining through the ice forming and making beautiful colours.  I was inspired.

Growing up my neighbour, Mrs. Gill, had the most amazing garden. So amazing I had to have it for myself. One day I climbed over the fence snipped off all of her tulips and hid them in my room. When my parents found them I blamed it on my sister. To this day, I still feel bad about it but I will never forget the beauty of Mrs. Gill’s flowers, which led me to my first criminal act.

A state of being pleasantly lost in one’s dream. The state of reverie is often where I find my inspiration. It takes me to an unimaginable place and shows me something I never see. Take a break and join me in reverie.

Passion, love, lust, and craze! Tres amour! Someone once told me that a good painting is the fine line between structural order and dynamic chaos. I can truly say that is what took place here. It was too normal until those splatters took over.

The network of brilliant lines, a blaze of neon filled with palpable excitement. I moved away once and regretted it almost immediately. But because of this experience, I will never take for granted what we have here. After a long day, I climb to my rooftop and find peace again as the sunlight casts its spell upon the city.

Have you ever been under water and noticed how blissfully quiet it is? When I was a kid I fell into a pool not knowing how to swim. I was surprisingly unafraid and embraced the peace and beauty. Looking up, beautiful rays of light poured over me and the warmth of the sun made me feel safe. Don't worry, seconds later my dad jumped in and pulled me out.

That blurry moment when you become aware you are dreaming and take control of the dream. This is lucidity. Do you remember as a child this was so challenging? I had such problems with nightmares and running to my parents room to be consoled. My mom told me I would one day be able to direct my own dreams. I still find it hard but when I do it’s magic to be able to strong hold it into an adventure. Much like my life….. Sometimes I get caught up in it and forget to stand back and realize what is actually going on.

Latin for Dragon but also a constellation that is circumpolar (never setting). Kind of like myself - never tied to one style or another, always evolving.

In a week of pure rain this painting reminded me of braving the environment. Getting out there and being truly Vancouverite! Rain won't stop us from biking, running, walking,... "Netflixing". Bring it on rain! Although sun if you're out there too we would appreciate a visit!

You know its fall when that first gust of wind barrels through the trees and the sunlight hits the leaves making them just glow. If you look very carefully these leaves actually do glow with a little gold leaf.

It is our natural reaction to resist change but sometimes change can come with great freedom. If you embrace it, might be pleasantly surprised. If you just drift along the tides of life, you may never see the shore or experience the adventures life could bestow on you.

Theta waves are the state of creativity. They tend to appear during meditation, drowsiness, hypnosis, and sleeping.  I often find my ideas and visions for my paintings while meditating.

I choose to live boldly realizing that life is short. I choose to transcend myself to unimaginable places and live the illusion that is life. I think it was Albert Einstien who said, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one".

Have you seen the rare super moon, blood moon and an eclipse happening all at the same time? Thought of this painting today after hearing all this. I wanted to capture the lunar tides and how the moon effects the ocean. I hope you can see the little hint of sparkle just gives it a touch of mystery and chaos.

The energy, verve, and zest of Spring that wakes our souls from winter's sleep. Living in Canada, we experience some of the coldest winters known to man. But we know that it will end and when it a renewing fleeing to breath in the freshness and vibrancy of new life. Nothing is better than the beautiful smells after the first west coast spring rain.
