"Dreams of Mother" 12”h x 10”w, mixed media mosaic including Japanese tissue papers, stained glass, Italian smalti, Lake Ontario seaglass and stone $225
The ethereal quality of Mario’s floral cyanotype collage brought me to happy thoughts of my mother and her love of flowers. She was a strong, intelligent, passionate person which I hoped to convey with the pink flower.

"Blossoming Burst" 12"h x 9"w, graphite pencil on rice paper, Stabilo Woody crayons, mounted on a birch wood cradled panel $200
This art challenge from our lens based artist, Mario Cerroni, gave me the opportunity to try out some new materials. This floral piece is created with Stabilo Woody crayons, graphite pencil and plenty of water on the textured side of rice paper. The unpredictability of the media enhanced my depiction of nature's "personality".

"Exuberance" 40"h x 30"w, acrylic on canvas SOLD
When I saw Mario’s inspiration piece I felt instant excitement.
It felt so great to be collaborating with everyone. COVID has made it difficult for artists to do anything together.
I worked in layers, layers of colours and strokes, bold marks and soft words. Oscar Peterson’s Jazz was playing that day -total exuberance!

Free motion machine embroidery on water soluble fabric. Layers of embroidery sewn on water soluble fabric and then the fabric is washed away leaving the sewn image. Very interesting to interpret the photograph using embroidery.
