I seek out painting subjects which are sometimes indirect; where a person was, the sun on the floor of a room recently occupied, things wrapped in memory. I think at the end of the day I like painting the presence found in absence. “Where you lay waiting”, oil, 30”x40”, priv coll. 🔴

“The Artist and her Familiar”, oil on panel, 6”x6”, has a beautiful new home! Such wonderful memories behind this painting, and I’m so glad it has traveled from one family of caring collectors to another. 🥲🩵🥰

“Wabi-sabi” continues to develop. Oil on panel, 24”x12”. 🩵

The glorious Olivia William’s Nurse Ratched was a staggering performance, dovetailing alongside an incredible cast of ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ at @oldvictheatre.bsky.social What a joy to catch this production before its finale this Saturday. ❤️

New painting in progress! It’s the second time I’ve painted this gate. I just love its luminous, cracked colour:) “Wabi-sabi”, oil on board, 24”x12”, in progress.

There are certain people you can sit quietly with for hours. Wyll & I used to go to one another’s houses in high school & just sit & read books side by side. We’re both only children, and I think onlies are often particularly sensitive to others nearby. “Wyll, wisdom”, oil, 11”x14”, priv coll.

“We don’t love like flowers with only one season behind us; when we love, a sap older than memory rises in our arms.”-Rainer Maria Rilke “The Wedding Dress”, oil on canvas, 40”x30”, private collection. 🔴

New painting is flowing! She’s on her side right now as I sometimes find it easier to paint more objectively & without presumption by turning paintings on their side. It reduces the eyes’ bias towards painting what you think it should look like rather than what it is. Untitled so far, oil, 24”x12”.

A full moon tonight while burning the midnight oil getting new paintings ready for an adventure. More details coming soon :)

There is nowhere like Newfoundland. There’s magic in the air there, a patina of kindness in its horizons. If there is an Avalon, it’s Newfoundland. These are 2 paintings from one moment in a favourite corner of Canada. “A Moment At St John’s” & “Return To Trinity Bay”, both oil, both in priv colls.

Hands and feet. They are how we largely experience the world. Stone or soil, it’s all medicine. Painting is medicine too. It reminds us of the sun on our skin as we peek into the brightness. :) 🩵 “The Pearle”, oil, 18”x24”, available via @pontonegallery.

I’ve created 700+ paintings so far in my career, & I realise more & more that all art truly is autobiography. “Between These Walls”, oil, 36”x48”, priv coll. “Go on whatever vision quest you require. Stand on the rim of a volcano, stand alone & do your dance. ~Agent Albert Rosenfield, Twin Peaks

Painting is like looking through a keyhole. It’s the act of stepping through a portal. We find a world that’s just for us. “Sonoma”, oil on panel, 6”x12”, available Abbozzo Gallery. 🟢 www.artsy.net/artwork/heat...

“A house that has been experienced is not an inert box. Inhabited space transcends geometric space.”~ Gaston Bachelard, ‘The Poetics of Space’ “The Back Stairs”, 36”x24”, prob coll. There are few things more meditative than a wall free of objects, rooms where you can feel memories.
