Here's another interior photograph I've taken recently. I love seeing the sunlight touching objects in the rooms, the patterns of light and dark that are created.

Interior–The Beauty in the Broken
I'm enjoying the interior photographs I've been taking of scenes and objects around my apartment. Things that I might overlook because I've grown accustomed to them and no longer actually see them are now grabbing my attention. For the past few years, I've been drawn to the beauty in broken pieces of ceramics and… Continue reading Interior–The Beauty in the Broken
Toronto in the Cold
It's quite cold in Toronto now. Yesterday, on a bright morning, I took these photographs. I was drawn to the drama of the steam and/or smoke rising from the chimneys.
House Paintings
I wanted to show you some more oil paintings that I've done over the past few years. These two are related. The house you see in House Spirit was next to a friend's place in Toronto.

Interiors–Broken Bowl Photo
This broken bowl, a common object, caught my attention with its beauty. I was drawn to the reflections on the side of the ceramic, as well as the bowl's shapes. I used a black and white setting to emphasize these.
Night of Peace
Continuing with the theme of night near the winter solstice, Night of Peace is a small felt wall hanging I made in 2011. It's made of synthetic felt that I hand stitched with cotton embroidery thread. You can see more details in my etsy shop.
