Pillow Time

Much has happened since I last wrote. Mum came for a week long visit to Halifax. Then we flew back to Hamilton together & I stayed for two weeks. I had my 26th birthday on the 23rd (I’ll never have...

I’ve put a new print up in the shop recently. It’s a lithographic print I pulled, scanned & had enlarged to 24×36 inches. I made this using touche wash, which is an inky, watery liquid. Then I...

I can’t wait for summer. It’s so bitter out lately. The buses are on strike here in Halifax since February 3rd & I’m tired of walking so much in the cold. Normally I don’t mind walking but not...
