As Oscar Wilde once said "Expect the Unexpected"

2025 has definitely been filled with a LOT of unexpected.

Most recently we experienced a burst pipe which caused our well to pump 300 gallons of water into our basement in about 6 minutes.

And by basement, I mean (in part) my studio.

2025 is coming and it’s going to be an amazing year! 

It’s been so long since I reached out via blog posts, and there have been some good reasons why. In 2024 we had two kids get married, we opened a new Gallery and Studio (County Creative in Prince Edward County) and I redesigned an entirely new website! 

It’s been an exciting adventure but it had meant that I had to set aside some of my favourite things like blog posts, online classes, in person workshops and vacation time! 

Ask any artist and they will tell you that one of the things they dread the most in their career is photographing their work. I am no exception. Generally I defer to my better half for photographing my work, but for the sake of this post, let me share the essentials….

People generally ask this question for one of two reasons. The first being that they are genuinely curious about how artists see the world and where our inspiration comes from. The second reason people ask this is that they are looking to create something of their own and they’re wondering where to start.
