Sketches From British Columbia

I went on a 3 week vacation to British Columbia in September.  I'm always blown away by the beauty of the mountains and ocean.  I make sure to spend the most time possible out doors, hiking, kayaking and biking.

I wanted to share a few little sketches I made during my trip.  I like to sketch in pen, as it forces me to slow down, really look carefully, and make marks.

The above cabin, is my dad's tool shed at his Savary Island cottage.  He lived in this tight space while he was building the cottage.

This sketch I made while on an impromptu fishing trip in a boat on Kootenay Lake.  Andrew was very sporting about sitting still while I drew.

This last one is of my dads cute little wood stove in his cabin.  But don't be fooled, it gives some powerful heat on chilly days.

Midwives Editorial Illustration

I had the pleasure of working with art editor, Carrie Bremner, to create an illustration for Midwives Magazine. You can read the digital version here.

It was fun to illustrate a man for a change! I often illustrate women and children ... and houses. But I'd hate to eliminate men from my portfolio.

This piece is about letting father-to-be sleep over at the hospital, so they wont miss the birth of their night baby.
