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.

Popular Nature
The Popular Nature Project is an accumulation of images of things seen, picked up and examined: they belong there, they are reminiscent of that, they inform this and are surprising here. Individual compositions provide a glimpse of lived experience and the idiosyncrasy of collection. Together they create an ever-changing narrative as they are sorted, reconsidered and repositioned in relation to the overall collection. Each image becomes a component of a larger taxonomic entity, a language of popular nature, whose meaning changes through time by choice, order and the numbers of images collected together.
Currently there have been over100 different Popular Nature images created in Mexico, Gros Morne, Newfoundland, Quebec City, and various locations in Ontario. Only some of the images are shown here.
Popular Nature, 30.5x30.5cm, mixed media including print (litho, drypoint, relief, stencil on washi), acrylic, plaster, and wax, mounted uniformly on 2.5cm deep wood supports. $300.
