I just returned from an inspiring trip to the Galapagos Islands organized and led by Daisy Gilardini Photography. Where else can you swim with penguins, marine iguanas, and sketch giant tortoises and courting waved albatross? We're excited to share a few video clips from below and above the ocean's surface, with many more images and paintings to come!
We are now organizing a trip for 2026, (trip is now full taking waitlist)
Sunrise painting from the beach at hollyhock.
Many thanks to the wonderful artists that joined my 4 day workshop/ retreat at Hollyhock on Cortes Island recently, I am still glowing from such productive sessions. We were fortunate to have great weather, 4 sunrise sessions, delicious food, the spectacle of northern lights plus the opportunity to paint together and make new friends in such a beautiful setting. Many thanks also to the friendly staff who helped host this event. Here are a just few photos , I will share more soon once I complete some of the demos. Looking forward to another session penciled in for May 7-11, 2025, Watercolour and the Art of Seeing
Thanks to everyone who attended my sold-out presentation and painting demonstration at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Ontario! It was wonderful to share new work, penguin stories, and the premiere of the making of my “Spirit of the Forest” mural. After intermission, I began a full-sheet watercolor demonstration inspired by trips into the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary and the Great Bear Rainforest. I have included the finished demo here, titled "Entering Khutzeymateen," 22 x 30 inches. Special thanks to the McMichael staff and volunteers who helped out with another successful show
