Is your work inspired by elements of nature? What draws you in and propels you forward when looking at or making art? 🕸 My current show @pastineprojects includes pieces from a series called My Abstracted Garden, an idea that sprung from digging in the soil and listening to nature. I relish getting lost in the garden where my attention is focused solely on planting, pruning, clearing, and shifting things around. 🍃 The Abstracted Garden pieces stem from a life-long personal curiosity about nature and my fascination with its immense power and beauty. But truly, it’s the little things in the garden that continue to draw me in – the rustle of the wind or shimmer of due in the morning—it’s like magic in motion! ✨ I hope you’ll stop by Pastine Projects to see the exhibition Affinities, which also includes the work of New York artist Lenard Rosenfeld. The show is on view thru December 11. Link in my bio for more info. 🌸 Images: My Abstracted Garden III, 2020, 15” x 12”, Acryla Gouache, fabric, felt, yarn, on paper.

In the midst of my Our Bodies Collection I'm also working on a long overdue commission. I think everything happens in good time and I'm truly excited for my first nude. #commissionedart #artinprogress #textileart #textilecollage #africanfabrics #ankarafabrics #mixedmedia #apanakitemitayom #shopapanaki #trinidadianartist #Canadianartist #madartist #artistoninstagram (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CShO9bfgSmp/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've been having fun making small textile collage landscapes, putting to use some of the bits and pieces I've garnered over the years - mainly from op shops/thrift stores. The "bits" include a box of assorted reels of thread in a variety of colours. It will take a lot of 15cm square landscapes to make a dent in my supplies. But I'm working on it...😏 #landscape #textilecollage #texileart #machineembroidery #recycling #thrifting #upcycle #wastenot #vintagetextiles #salvos #rainyday (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRYUIhnrRkg/?utm_medium=tumblr

It was cold yesterday, too cold for the Paint Shed, so I amazed myself and finished this textile collage in the relative warmth inside. Considering it's been sitting around "begun"(and therefore "half done") since last March, it's taken me long enough to get back to! I thought it needed a bit more when I finished yesterday, but it's always good to step away for a while and look again - it's done! #textilecollage #fabricplay #machineembroidery #upcycle #wastenot #vintagetextiles #margieandbert #canola #eucalypt #grampians #australiafelix #abouttimetoo #willauramodern #waynesuffieldphotograph (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ5Kye4Lyss/?utm_medium=tumblr

I got back to this yesterday! It's been a loooong time, and it only happened because I was procrastinating on another piece of sewing... The photo reference is one by @chalambargc , techniques learned in a class at Willaura Modern with @margieandbert. That must be nearly 2 years ago, but this piece hasn't waited quite that long.😏 #machineembroidery #textilecollage #procrastination #canola #eucalypt #abouttimetoo #willauramodern #margieandbert (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQfpwqWrg-a/?utm_medium=tumblr
