Just finished a three-day brain-and-heartstorming session with some fellow members of #nlarts. It was a lot, and it was useful. Our thanks to Coeuraj for some top-notch facilitation and animation!

I’m currently working on some pieces for my upcoming show (November, mark your calendars!) so here is a painting from 2024.

The Jig Is Up, watercolour.

This painting was purchased as part of the Province’s Art Bank program. If you ever see it in the wild please let me know!
