I’ve been dreaming since I woke up today. Artist and photographer from Nova Scotia. Loves crows.
Anna Swan is my 3x great aunt. My grandfather actually made most of the donations to the museum in Tatamagouche! Here he is pictured with the door from Anna’s home!
I once sold a painting to a celebrity cast member of the show Orange Is the New Black. It’s currently hanging somewhere in New York.
Today, I’m overwhelmed by the urge to create. I hate having to suppress that feeling because of my day job. By the time I’ve spent eight hours working, the spark will be gone. It feels like I’m constantly trading away the best part of myself just to make it through the workday. Can I retire yet?

Shocked to hear the news about Sam Neil. He’s was such a steadfast presence in movies my whole life. Does anyone else remember that miniseries Merlin from the 90s? It was so great.
The irony of asking artists to showcase their work, using a poster generated by AI. 😡😡 Do better Lot Six. #halisky
*great beach suggestions I mean. And if you’d like fried chicken, you simply must get a feed at local gem, The Lick-a-chick! Naughty name, incredible chicken!
This is quite a lucky little patch! How many 4 leaf clovers can you spot? 🍀🍀🍀
It was a hot run even so early in the morning. But the views were lovely #haliaky

Small forest clearings filled with wildflowers are my favourite places ✨
