Design: furniture
Eighteen drawers - perfect storage! After painting the piece I added strips of copper foil for extra sparkle, and the tiny drawer pulls were decorated in different colours to help finding things quickly.
The Green Tower was a custom order by my Vancouver friend Debra Drayton who later moved to Mexico, couldn't take this piece with her and had to sell it on. So I lost track of it.

My dresser Red Nose
is one of those pieces of furniture that have done service for
generations. I found it in the basement of an elderly couple’s house in
North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They did not want to bring it
to their new downsized place. The straightforward proportions of this
chest of drawers have influenced my design. Its name derives from the
new round knobs that I chose because they make a perfect match for the
red circles of my design.

Painting: Mixed media
Poppies add a riot of colour to my garden, just before the roses open their blossoms. Poppy flower heads aren't long lived, their soft petals fall off quickly in wind or rain and turn into mushy blobs on the garden path. I wanted to record their beauty and did this painting using watercolours and wax resist.

Design: Furniture
This vintage chest was one of the first pieces of furniture that I painted. It illustrates my idea of recycling furniture, giving it a new life by painting it and by finding stylish matching hardware for it.
I had found the piece at a garage sale in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It appealed to me with its clean proportions. I named it Double Breasted because I arranged the knobs like on a men's suit.

Drawing: Crayons
Hawkweed grows in my rockery. It's a wild flower, sometimes considered a weed because it spreads furiously. I let it grow though because I love the variety of orange hues on the petals, the flowers really stand out. When they start going to seed I pull them out, and because of this I decided to draw a few Hawkweed stalks in full bloom because they are very pretty.
