The Fork in Their Tongues
The Fork in their Tongues. Story: She had heard these words before; had heard the tone of the voices that speak through one of the forks in their tongues. She listened to the men in their tight uncomfortable clothes, and had listened enough times to know that there would be no meat, no buffalo, no hope. "Beyond their flat voices and waving pens, the sun broke through the heavy sky and cast light onto the face of my Mother. I watched a small herd of buffalo light up and become spirit."

LESSON INFO: Pontiac Stone School

28 Rue Mill, Portage-du-Fort, QC J0X 2T0

Kwey kwey! Hello!

That you’ve come here to view my work, means the world to me. I hope you enjoy what you see here. I work with several mediums in my creation process, all dictated by mood, moon and muse.

My primary work is done in ground mineral watercolour on synthetic paper. It's a fascinating journey into the unpredictable nature of earth minerals and water. I'm often in awe of the simple power of the interactions beneath my brush and have whiled away many hours without looking at the clock once.

When I want a different medium from the synthetic paper, I enjoy painting iconic historical plains scenes on Arches coldpress watercolour paper.

​The fact that I am using water and minerals on the surface of an oil based paper is not lost on me; in fact, I enjoy the irony of it. Oil and water are not supposed to work well together...unless of course, you’re an artist.
