Introduction
Among other canvases, I paint Canadian wildlife on reclaimed pine lumber. The wood I use was once siding or flooring in a 100+year old barn. Each piece is unique and when preparing the surface for painting, I leave as much of the original board as possible. The knots, holes, and marks where an animal gnawed on the wood add to the artwork and make it a truly original work.
I use professional quality acrylic paints and some pieces are finished with a satin polyurethane that brings out both the colours of the artwork and the beautiful features of the reclaimed wood.
I have many pen + ink prints and watercolours that are professionally framed in reclaimed wood frames that my husband builds and I finish.
Feel free to look through my gallery to see pictures, but realize that photos do not do this work justice; it must be viewed in person to appreciate the character of the wood on which I paint. If you have any questions, please contact me.
