Welcome! I am a full-time Canadian artist on a mission to help you live artfully. In addition to the art here, I love creating special orders/commissions, so please contact me if you have any ideas for a piece that you would like to see. Estimates are free. Humble gratitude ❤️ for your time and love of art. 🙂
Sockrificed to the tide gods — I’ve always loved a good pun
I recently made a blueberry-themed artwork with a treeline and meandering tidal river in the background. The treeline reminded me so much of my time living in New Brunswick, Canada that I decide to make another piece with it as the focus. Here it is, #1 of 12. “Sockrificed to the tide gods” is a Paper Mosaic with one sock on the laundry line and one sock floating in the tidal water. A sock always goes missing in the laundry, right? (The sock in the water is much easier to see in person.) This is even more amusing, if you use Tide detergent. 😉 The artwork will have my usual glossy surface, and will be framed in black. 9”x23”. There are 46 tesserae in this piece. It’s perfect for any room in the house; but ideal for a laundry room or bathroom! It’s now off to get framed. If interested in one of this edition, I hope that you will get in touch! It’s currently $254, tax-free. World-wide shipping happily arranged.

My first Triptych in Paper Mosaic!
While I’ve done triptychs in my painting and multi-media mediums, this special order, “Sunset Triptych,” is my first in paper mosaic. It is signed and numbered: edition #1 of 12. The total width, framed, is 60”x26”. I NEED to do more! I am in love with it! It finds its home in California now. Let me know if you need something special for yourself.
Below, I’ve included some detail shots to show the lush surface of my Paper Mosaics. I’ve also included a photo of the back of one of the panels so that you can see the information plate with edition count and title.

Lake Louise mosaic on its way to framing!
Yay! Done! This 50”x26” (roughly) paper mosaic of Lake Louise (Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada) probably has (I’m still counting!) about 1600 pieces of paper in it. I tried to capture the correct colour of the water; the lake naturally has vivid turquoise waters (from glaciers). It will be glossed, framed in classic black with a depth of 1.75”, and signed and numbered #1 in a tiny edition of 3. It will be around $2000. Compassionate Pricing (and instalment-payments) always in effect, to help people add art to modest budgets. Let me know if you need some art or have a landscape photo from your travels that you would like me to turn into a mosaic!

The ‘to-frame’ pile always has something in it!
My next batch of mosaics is on the framing table. LOVE is spoken for. I might keep the larger blue jay/sunflower for myself!
