Summer! Yay!

I’m a person who fully enjoys all of the seasons. Each has its highs and lows, each loaded with opportunity and magic if you look around a bit. Summer is a favourite for many of us, and I love it too, although I have to say it all seems rather artificial and temporary at times. Still, I embrace the warmer days (even the really hot ones) and dig into the laziness, the opportunities for friend and family time and the overall casual feel.

The gardens are exploding with beauty right now (no real prolonged heat has set in … yet), the grass is green and everything looks lovely. In the studio I’m back to exploring a more abstracted view of things. I’m calling this one Currents for now as it seems to be buzzy with experimentation. It also has a somewhat watery feel to it. The whole thing could change dramatically in the weeks ahead, stay tuned.

On the way in September will be the 2026 Northumberland Hills Studio Tour. I will once again share space with ceramicist Brenda Sullivan in her home in Port Hope. More on the tour (Sept 12/13) can be found at www.northumberlandstudiotour.ca‍ ‍

Happy Summer! I hope you’re enjoying all the moments.
