Island Racing - 18x24 - Oil on Canvas
Carreras en la Isla - 46x61cm - Oleo
Available at South Shore Gallery


I love working in many different sizes. I like small pieces because I am able to finish a piece in a relatively short period of time. They also help me figure out elements and have also become the jumping point sometimes for bigger works. Last February I painted several boats and as I was very happy with what happened with a few of them, I decided to go a bit bigger and combine them into this bigger one. You can see this painting as well as several other ones at South Shore Gallery in Sooke. It's an 18x24 Oil on Canvas called Island Racing.

Me gusta trabajar en distintos tamaños. Me gustan las piezas pequeñas porque muchas veces puedo terminar un cuadro en un periodo de tiempo relativamente corto. También me ayudan a decidir qué hacer con distintos elementos y muchas veces se transforman en estudios para trabajos más grandes. Este febrero pasado, pinté varios barcos y veleros y como estaba contenta con lo que pasó en algunos de sus cuadros decidí combinarlos y pintar este más grande. Pueden ver este cuadro en South Shore Gallery en Sooke. Es un óleo de 46x61cm que se llama Carreras de la Isla.

    I am an artist living in Victoria, BC, Canada. I love to paint the beauty around me, capture moments and memories. I paint because the process gives me immense pleasure and joy. I paint because it allows me to remember places I have been to, moments I have lived. Just like music can in an instant transport you to a different time, my art has the ability to take me back in time and place and put a smile on my face. I paint because it allows me to imagine my next trip or my next walk in the woods. It mean it to be an invitation for you to pause and just simply enjoy the moment. Hope you enjoy my art!
