    First solo trip a long time ago. My Mum

After a year of collaboration with Artist Jayne Burnside who resides in New Liskeard, we celebrate Jayne's life time of art making as she marks her first solo exhibition at Alex Dufresene Gallery in Callander.  May 10 - June 7 2025.


Please join Jayne for the opening reception on May 10th.

Press release below.


I feel such gratitude that our paths crossed years ago. My first visit to her home was a feast for the eyes, an opening of her innate love and care of all things. Jayne's creative expression purely felt as a pathway of passion and brilliance! This retrospective of her life's work is a timeline of curiosity and art making as inspiration and medicine. I am delighted too have engaged in this year of mentorship as we exuberantly produced and prepared this exhibition for all to see. Congratulations Jayne!

IRIS Art Centre Residency



Accomplishment requires the support of many and this I am deeply thankful for.

Having attended a residency at Iris Art Centre in the country side of Greece in March/April of 2024, I experienced a great deal of learning in my development of new methods, techniques and medium in regards to my practice. Most importantly I accessed a deeper insight into my visual voice. A profound experience that will continue to nourish me for years to come. The work titled In Search of She is an outcome of my encounter in Greece.

  

In Search of She • Collage • Triptych • 11" x 17" x 3

Sacred Breasts

Barbara O’Meara of Ireland reached out in 2023 to purchase a copy of of my book To Re-convene // To Shoreline © 2023. Shortly after her copy arrived she messaged, requesting a virtual meet up. Soon after we delighted in seeing one another and oh did we cover shared ground: art, family, community, Herstory, becoming disabled, and pivoting to find one’s way.
