I don’t often share my work in progress but I would like to start sharing some aspects of the evolution of each piece. It was something I used to do but can’t remember why I stopped sharing that. There is so much work that goes into each piece and I would love you to see more of that. Well, she certainly took on many forms and I have to laugh at myself sometimes and the way I work… stop, start, backwards and forwards. I went back to try to find her origin story and I found it was around 3 years ago.

She has kept evolving and changing but I think I am close to calling her story complete. It’s been layers and layers of paint and there are some hidden stories under there, which I just love. I think part of my “stop-start” struggle with this piece was the unusual size of her canvas, its not one I’ve done before but it has grown on me - stretched canvas 10”x20”x1.5”.

It’s my hope to finish her this weekend although I still have many layers to go for her to feel fully resolved. It’s currently a journey of love but I can see how at times, the struggle has been real.

More about this piece soon. xxx
