Emerald Wing Studio Fire

12 Mar, 2021

lt is with great sadness that l announce that my home studio suffered a devastating fire that destroyed or ruined most of my newer oil paintings as well as water damage that took other work along with it. As you can imagine, this was a big blow to not only my business but to my heart so as of March 2021, the studio will be closed and under repair and remaining artwork will be in restoration until an unknown date. Be assured l will be back working and new artwork will be created just on a very small scale and no painting as l am in a rental space that wouldn't be happy with paint stains on anything. Thank-you for all the good wishes and support sent my way. Looking forward to a new workspace and new art to come!
