On back of drawing: "Soar" North Atlantic Humpback Whale. Ink, seawater and wind on rag paper. Note a put the creation of this work: This drawing was dipped into the waves of Húnaflói Bay, Iceland, on a windy day. The wind took the wet dripping drawing and blew it over a building. I had to chase after it to catch the work. The unique pattern on this drawing was created by nature and cannot be repeated. #yyjarts #yyj #iceland #artresidency #art #drawing #ink #sea #ocean #whale #humpback #cetacean #draw #wind #ocean #nature #experiment

"I invite you to please interact with this work. Touch. Move. Arrange. Rearrange by colour. Seperate by shape. Create patterns." Today is the @nesartistresidency Opiđ Hús! AKA open house. This work is inspired by the tide line and what I've found along the beaches here. The various tide lines provide onsite into what lives within the water. These offerings from the sea become decaying records of storms and the cycle of life. #yyjarts #pattern #touch #move #create #sea #sealife #biology #ocean #hightide #allwashedup #watercolour #draw #paint #openstudio #exhibition #iceland #skagastrond #travel #art

Tomorrow is the @nesartistresidency January Open Studio! It's nice to clear space, organize and take a step back to reflect on these past three weeks. The space has really transformed over the past 24 hours and I'm looking forward to see the work tomorrow. #yyjarts #skagastrond #iceland #opening #openstudio #art #artopening #opidhus #artresidency

Stormy seas. Plein air painting with watercolour in intense wind as part of my project at the @nesartistresidency in #Skagastrond #Iceland. #sea #weather #winter #seascape #watercolor #paint #pleinair #ocean #storm #waves #art #studio #canadianart #travel #residency #yyjarts #canada #codeorangestorm

I spent the afternoon walking by the beach, picking up bits and pieces, photographing different types of seaweed and making watercolour sketches of the sea. I love the different lines of debris left by the tide. Scattered and strewn. Looking forward to painting and cutting out my own bits and pieces at the studio at the @nesartistresidency later to add to my collection. #yyjarts #iceland #articeland #tideline #ocean #time #kingtide #moon #season #winter #art #draw #paint #paper #watercolour #seaweed #shells #beach #shore #sketch #studio #wip #canadianart #residency

I'm starting a new project idea inspired by the scattered bits and pieces that mark the high tide line... I'm not exactly sure where it's going, but I'm in a happy place. 😊 WIP watercolour and seawater from the Denmark Strait, Iceland, on paper created at @nesartistresidency. #yyjarts #yyj #tide #watercolour #seawater #paper #draw #illuminate #seaweed #shells #bits #ocean #hightide #lines #washedashore #endofajourney #holdfast #grow #installation #sketch #sea #iceland #beach #art #canadianart #wip #studio
