I have been proudly represented by Meta4 Contemporary Craft Gallery in Port Perry, Ontario since they opened their storefront in a historic building in 2005.

Over the past 21 years, it has been a pleasure to work with this wonderful gallery team, who have built Ontario's premier destination for fine craft, original art, and studio programs, featuring the work of more than 100 talented Ontario artists.

I am honoured to have been selected as Meta4's Featured Artist for August. Throughout the month, visitors can enjoy 10% savings on all of my artwork currently on display at the 200 Queen Street location.

This photo, taken inside the gallery, shows me holding my painting Love Changes Everything (varnished watercolour on 24 x 24 inch panel), the largest work in my August feature, valued at $2,900.

Recently, this painting of a delicate dragonfly resting on colourful beach pebbles won Third Place in the Animal & Wildlife category of the 7th Annual Women in Watercolor International Juried Competition. Read about that exciting win here.

This collection of miniature landscape paintings is also included in the August sale. Each varnished painting is mounted on a wood panel and can stand on a shelf or hang on a wall.

Close to My Heart

Varnished watercolour on 12 x 9 inch panel

Value: $650.

I love exploring pristine northern wilderness, and those restorative moments inspire my work. A secluded island drifts through mist beneath a sky filled with countless stars, inviting stillness, reflection, and wonder. 

Living the Dream

Varnished watercolour on 12 x 12 inch panel

Value: $950.

My ideal life includes quiet moments beside northern lakes, taking in the splendour of the seasons. Places like this, where I slow down and reconnect with nature, replenish my soul.

Witnessing Wonder

Varnished watercolour on 12 x 9 inch panel

Value: $650.

During a visit to Churchill, Manitoba to see polar bears, I was fortunate to witness spectacular northern lights on three occasions, each displaying different colours. This painting celebrates those unforgettable memories with prismatic aurora dancing across the night sky.

Silent Fire

Varnished watercolour on 10 x 10 inch panel

Value: $600.

Nothing compares to seeing the aurora in person, as luminous ribbons drift across the night sky like vast curtains of silent fire. In this imagined scene, their brilliant colours ignite a frozen river.

Canada Rocks! #5

Varnished watercolour on 6 x 12 inch panel

Value: $500.

My husband and I have explored every province and territory in Canada, collecting beautiful stones along the way. Those warm-hued pebbles inspired this rustic Canadian flag.

Port Perry is a wonderful day-trip destination, with charming shops, excellent dining, and a scenic waterfront along Lake Scugog. If you're visiting in August, I hope you'll stop by Meta4 Gallery to see my Feature Artist collection and experience the beauty of handmade Ontario art.
