This year...

is nearly over, and I thought I'd share some of my favourite creations from 2014, just in case you'd missed them.  With over 60 paintings, altered books, folded books, Wingdings and miscellany from which to choose, this is only representational of this particular moment.

People who know my work say they can recognize it instantly because of the intensity of the colour - from this group I can see why.  Apparently subtlety is not my style.

If you'd like your own colour fix - why not join me in Kimberley, BC on January 17 & 18, 2015 for a Gelli it Up! playshop?  No experience is required, you can be as colourful as you like, you'll gain a ton of monoprinting skills, and head home with your own plate to continue the play.  What could be more fun?  

Started, nearly done...

and done.  In the studio, things are always in a constant state of flux.

From a Gelli prints piece that is finished

 to another that is nearly done,

 and one that that is 'almost nearly' done (I think it needs some Pebeo liner to funky it up),

to a stencil work that impresses me not at all after seeing my daughter use it as a springboard (see her result with this technique here)

and a piece that wonders where the heck it's going,

it's a kaleidoscope of colour no matter where I look.  Is it any wonder that my studio is a constant call, no matter the weather?
