About This Work
“I paint what I love; the objects in ‘Studio Still Life’ are quite ordinary everyday things; an amaryllis; lemons; two small tables; a monstera and canvases propped against the wall. I am interested in the ‘conversations ’going on in the painting; how the objects relate to one another. I often use the same objects in my work; looking at them from differing points of view. My work starts from observation. I work intuitively, responding to what I see and to what is on the page. This painting is acrylic with some collage; notably the red and white striped wrapping paper to add an element of fun. I will continue to paint-there is always a painting in front of me. I can’t imagine not painting.”

The City of Hamilton is situated on the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, the City of Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize we must do more to learn about the rich history of this land so we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners and caretakers.
