I'm thrilled to share that my original abstract painting Red Red Wine has been chosen for Saatchi Art's New This Week collection. This ongoing feature highlights original contemporary artwork for collectors, with 100 works selected each week by Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator.

I'd like to thank Will Hardy, Saatchi Art Advisory & Assistant Curator, for selecting this piece. Having work recognized on a platform trusted by serious art collectors worldwide, means a great deal.

About the painting

Red Red Wine is an 8" × 8" original acrylic and mixed media painting on canvas. Small in scale but bold in presence, it works beautifully as a standalone collector piece or within a curated wall grouping. The painting is also available as a large-scale reproduction print for collectors interested in a larger format.

About the Love Is Love Series

Red Red Wine belongs to my Love Is Love series—a collection of mixed media paintings built through a rhythmic grid of colour-filled squares. Created from a place of ease and playful creative flow, each artwork explores the pleasure found in bringing many small parts into a relationship—like a visual game where chaos slowly finds its own order.

Using layers of acrylic paint, gel mediums, pencil, spray paint, pastels, gelatos, coffee, cotton fabric, and paint pens, the surfaces hold both energy and warmth. Each square carries its own mood and movement, while together they form a vibrant, connected whole. The process is intuitive and relaxing, allowing colour, texture, and pattern to guide the way.

Occasionally, a simple heart appears as a quiet gesture of love and inclusion—a reminder of the joy that initiated the series—though many works rely solely on colour and structure. These paintings are playful and exuberant, inviting lightness, presence, and delight through bold colour. The result is an uplifting body of work designed to bring warmth and visual energy into a home or collection.

Collect the Original or a Print

The recognition of being featured in New This Week is a reminder of why I continue to develop my body of work. I hope Red Red Wine finds the right collector and the right wall.

The painting is available now through Saatchi Art as an original painting or as a large-scale reproduction print. If you've been considering adding an original Canadian artwork to your collection, this is a good moment to do so.

The program’s new artwork will be showcased this March in a salon-style exhibition in the CityScape Community ArtSpace. The original diptych paintings of Loving What is I and Loving What is II will soon be available to rent through the program.

How Does the Art Rental Program Work?

The program offers a sophisticated opportunity to enjoy contemporary artwork in a home or office, allowing collectors to experience how a piece influences the grounding and consciousness of a space before making a permanent acquisition.

The rental fee is based on the professional valuation of the painting. Collectors are billed on a monthly basis, providing a flexible pathway to curate a meaningful environment until they decide to purchase the work or explore a new selection.

Romantica at Nova Gallery: A Celebration of Love, Art & Community

This February, Nova Gallery on Gabriola Island invites you to step into a world of romance, creativity, and expressive beauty with Romantica, a vibrant group exhibition opening Friday, February 13, 2026.

Timed with Valentine’s season, Romantica explores love in its many forms — romantic, playful, sensual, emotional, and celebratory. The exhibition brings together artists working across mediums, including painting, jewellery, and handmade wearable art, all responding to the theme in their own way.

I’m excited to be showing brand new work from my Love Is Love series in this exhibition. These paintings continue my exploration of colour, structure, and joy through square grid formations — visual expressions of harmony, inclusion, and emotional resonance. Each piece is created with the intention of inviting warmth, openness, and a sense of celebration into the viewer’s experience.
