New Series called Petite Florals
This is my first venture into small batiks! After completing "Rhodo Blush", my concern for controlling the hot wax and the bleed of the dye, things that always made me hesitant, seems to have dwindled and I've found myself keen to do more! I now peruse my photographs with a different eye and have about ten photographs lined up to paint... daphne buds, creamy hydrangeas and twisted wisteria, hostas and red rhodos! This spring we will be finally moving from the Fraser Valley back to North Saanich, on Vancouver Island, and will be delving into the world of residential construction! I expect my life will be turned upside down for a few years (yes, I get a NEW designated studio!!) and having this series of small batiks to work on will allow me to keep painting amidst the chaos... it undoubtedly will become my peaceful, calm, zone of zen!! Not sure what the price will be at the moment, but I think I will make them available at an Open House for my new studio, late 2023! If you would like to be invited to the opening, please email me through my Contact Form on the website.

Flattering quotes from my Patrons!
"To me the true test of art is the ones that draw you in and keep you coming back for a more discerning look. . ." Chris
". . . and if I did not make it very clear, I think your work is transcendent. Very very wondrous and I hope to see you again someday. You are not only gifted, you are a gift to all!" James
"Without a doubt, the Rug Merchant is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen" Pat
"Your paintings are a love letter to the Universe!" Unknown gentleman
. . . just sitting in the Living Room with a glass of wine and enjoying looking at [our batik]. We so love it! It makes me think & feel summer! I would very much like to scramble across those rocks and lay out at the far end near the water in the sunshine for awhile like a seal! Then have a picnic under the Garry Oak in the shadows!" Bob
"I admired your paintings at the Sidney Fine Arts Show. They are beautiful in colour, detail and light." Gisele
