The process of creating is always an interesting one at most. I have been able to create a number of new pieces that I find have had great visual success. It is an experiment that I was able to exercise at a wonderful textile co-op studio in downtown Toronto. It was four of us and we were able to create a number of different pieces to which I chose to execute them onto linen. This was a new medium for me as I usually work with silk. Nonetheless, it was amazing the results, although the effects are not as stark as it would be if I had used silk but there is still a very organic and warm feeling to the colours that really give them a unique lustre.

It is interesting to know that there is always room for change regardless. It is never clear as to how it comes or how one can approach this change. All you know is that you get some good clues for them to occur and when it does, you have to go with it. I have seen folks resist it and it seems to only produce pain and difficulties; so- non resistance I guess is the theme that I will work on with this new line of work.

These are interesting times.
Finding the right time to put this into fabrics and surfaces.
The new images are now quite different.
There is a new style coming up soon.

I am continuing with the silks.

Back to basics... one more time.
Watercolour floral design. The use of pastels and brights give a beautiful contrast.
Finding the way back through colour is a wonderful way to go.

Merging into the world of textiles,

Suprimavera has taken on a new venture with fabric.
Designs are unique and for interior application.

Using lots of silks as a base fibre for the fabrics and the outcome is fabulous.

Will be posting newer images as we go along.

This is an opportunity for me to register most of my work and although I am currently an Instructor of Color and Visual Literacy in various colleges in Toronto, it is great to get back to doing some more artwork I so much enjoy. My website will be up and running and will have some recent work posted.

This will be a new series of mono prints and watercolors that will be prepared for a new exhibition running October 2009

Fire

This is a design that was quite well recieved. Although it came from a number of many sketches it suddenly made more sence as to replicate the feel of fire.

Although it usually has a mesmerising effect the white background gives it a multidimensional feel to the rug.
