This is an opportunity for me to register most of my work and although I am currently an Instructor of Color and Visual Literacy in various colleges in Toronto, it is great to get back to doing some more artwork I so much enjoy. My website will be up and running and will have some recent work posted.
This will be a new series of mono prints and watercolors that will be prepared for a new exhibition running October 2009

Fire


This is a design that was quite well recieved. Although it came from a number of many sketches it suddenly made more sence as to replicate the feel of fire.

Although it usually has a mesmerising effect the white background gives it a multidimensional feel to the rug.

Silk Scarves for Rennaissance Hotel


This is a picture of a close up of one of the Front desk attire for Rennaissance Hotel.

Although very discrete, the colors used were to fit within the Hotels palette.

It was very simple and elegant. Made in silk and hand painted, the design is not evident while wearing it. It does create a beautiful contrast with the seriousness of the suit.

Thank you Jade for this wonderful opportunity and I am sure you will all enjoy them.

Wispers of rain



I had quite a time figuring what to name this piece. Although I could consider it part of the time when I was working on "Alma Trail". I like the softness if gives. This is a small version of the next design coming up in silk. Although the pallet is quite soft it lends itself to the transperancy that the medium requires. I am very happy to finish it and have on display.

Working with Canadian International Artist forum




This was a wonderful opportunity to work on a hands on program where I was creating samples of my work on silk to the public.


This allowed me to show how these designs were produced and an insight to the details it took to


elaborate on simple designs where members of the public could look and learn how the process was done.

coming into silk


This is a picture taken with me while I was busy setting up the paints for an interesting program called "Five Yards of My Soul", an Interactive On-site Textile Art Show, curated by Asma and Arshad Mahmood featuring Susan Anderson.
It was great to work in a large space again. The project was to create a beautiful saari and that ... it was.

Two tapestries at The Delta Hotel in downtown Toronto.

This was a great opportunity two illustrations I created that I was able to translate into a tapestry.
The one called The Wave is a great exercise using a blend of blue yarns that create a great transition from light blue to dark giving an effect the sea wave does when it recedes back from the sand.
These two works of art are currently hanging at the Delta Hotel in downtown Toronto in the business section of the hotel.
