*tlc Magazine Feature Out!

It's not every day a girl (never mind an artist) finds herself featured in a swish magazine, but the right planets must have aligned to pull this together. Check out the tlc* December gift issue - you can pick up a hard copy in Vancouver or Berlin or read it online the modern way - my interview by Ron Coldham is on page 23 and features a big red W with bonus blimp.

If you're actually looking for any of the mentioned lightboxes, you can find them online at my etsy shop or drop me a comment. Because it's dollar forty-nine day, I'll include the shipping and track down some of that Woodward's peanut butter I hear Nestor's is reintroducing for Vancouver consumption. Damn, I love peanut butter.

Thanks to this little city and Ron Coldham for a great feature and congrats to Nestor's and everyone else moving into swank new digs in the Woodwards Building!

Latest Vancouver Cityscape Finished!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of finishing a piece that you've laboured over (except for perhaps selling it!)

Woodwards Construction with Crane (24 x 36" - oil on canvas) is the beginning of a subtle shift in my cityscapes; the perspective is gradually becoming flatter and pattern has begun to define depth. Going forward, I suspect the 2 dimensional plane might finally overtake my manipulation of the object to "turn in space." The detail is also sharper, perhaps sharper than I am typically comfortable with, as it eschews the motion blur I am so fond of. (That should silence the critics who suggest I am incapable of painting a properly straight line!)

Another cityscape that I am currently working on continues in this vain while a new series using firing range targets (tentatively titled Perforations) may finally break my absolute lock on realism. Only time will tell.
