Dr Susie O’Brien requested an image for the cover of her book, What the World Might Look Like: Decolonial Stories of Resilience and Refusal. She provided the introductory chapter and we chatted about what she felt was important to feature in the image. The Hornet’s Nest became the right choice for the theme. I created this piece with machine stitched lines and fabric paint for a delicate appearance that would not interfere with the cover text.

This is a wonderful book! More information here.

Clients in Comox requested a wall hanging inspired by their favourite tree. Arbutus is a distinct West Coast tree that thrives near the ocean, undeterred by the salty earth. Included with these images are a photo of the tree and the pencil sketch that was approved.

A happy couple celebrated their anniversary by commissioning art inspired by a special maple on their woodlot. From one of their many great photos, we selected the one that best represented their vision. They requested the addition of flowering trilliums to reflect this springtime scene.
