Covid-19 has changed all our lives. I am thankful that I have remained well, but long to return to normal activities like visiting with friends and family, and travelling for art and pleasure.
While self-isolating in Port Hope I have been working in my studio daily. In 2020 I produced Other Echoes, a collection of works on paper examining home and memory.
Early in 2021 I completed the Canadian part of The Tangled Garden a large, long-term garden wall project. Hopefully in the future I will have the opportunity to travel and develop the imagined two remaining walls.
My annual summer canoe trip with the other artists of the Gibson Girls, was cancelled and our exhibition in Vilnius, Lithuania was postponed until 2022. The mail art exchange project we were to exhibit, Where I'm at Now: A Conversation in Art has continued and provided some solace and connection. Go to our newly launched website gibsongirlsart.com to see the growing collection of collaborative postcards created by the group. Follow our activities and the project on instagram @5gibsongirls.

Where We’re at Now – Another Conversation includes new environmentally-conscious artwork by each of the artists, as well as two group projects. In Roundtable (2025) the artists experimented with the circle in form and substrate while working together outdoors as they had on canoe trips for thirty years. The group’s 2018-2022 mail art collaboration (600+ images) will also be shown in a new interactive iteration. Through their long history together the Gibson Girls each embody an ability to support, challenge and learn from each other. This exhibition opens their conversation to others as a gesture of hope through communication and understanding in our continuing fraught times.
Slow Down
My new work will be part of this exhibition. Slow Down records trees seen over multiple years along the 401 corridor, particularly failing Ash trees as they successively succumbed to the Emerald Ash Borer. Glimpsed at speed, the silhouettes are rendered in remembrance as lost specimens. The large Pinehill, sketched at a small local cemetery, evokes other modes of mourning imagery. In the tondos The Hornet Remembers, I dissected a Hornet's nest found in the fall after a bear knocked it to the ground. The tense lore associated with this insect contrasts my wonder at the beautiful renewal of dead trees in each paper nest.
Mexico
I was in Mexico from November 2025 until early April 2026 where I walked beaches early in the morning, worked in my garden until mid-day and in my studio each afternoon.
Here are some photos taken in the last few months. Mexico now has a section on this site.
