Elm Street Studio with this summer's work...

Richard and I have been painting up a storm lately.  We would love for you to come visit us.  Much of the work is either plein air, or based on plein air work here in Nova Scotia.

Surfacing: An update on my life.

  As life spins along, sometimes peacefully, sometimes beyond our control, I am now in a phase of readjusting to living and creating without my life partner, my husband, artist Richard Rudnicki. Richard died suddenly on November 4th, 2019.  In the more than two years that followed his death, I worked predominately on completing his graphic novel, Dusty Dreams and Troubled Waters , written by Brian Bowman, and in curating a show of his work, Richard Rudnicki: Reflections on Life , at ArtsPlace Gallery in Annapolis Royal.  https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2251430 https://artsplaceexhibits.weebly.com/richard-rudnicki.html This does not mean that I did not work in my own studio, but grief and the adjustment to life alone did take its toll.

The Barrens, Mt. Uniacke, acrylic on canvas, 4' x 4' The parklands of the Mount Uniacke Estate include trails through Acadian forest, wetlands and the barrens.  The trails wind through woodlands, sometimes with deep undergrowth.  However, along the Barrens Trail the woods are dominated by red spruce.  The survivors reach above the unsuccessful fallen trees whose trunks and branches create a pattern of white bones across the forest floor.
