Tread Lightly

The inspiration for my work comes from extended backcountry canoe and hiking trips in Northern Ontario. During these remote excursions I find a deep sense of belonging to water and land. Being in wilderness, especially the forest, has a profound effect on my psyche and is directly tied to my wellbeing. In this work, I want to capture the feeling of being immersed in a forest that is both strong and fragile - a state that presently echoes my personal life. For me, these forest paintings are a display of strength with dense foliage, sturdy tree trunks and a thriving ecosystem. I hope they also capture fragility with delicate moss, soft light dappling through leaves and the quiet, tender moments that are within us.
Where it's been: Part of solo show called "on gentle ground" at Necessary Arts Collective in Guelph.

Love the new artwork in my office and living room. It lifts us up everyday, acts as a conversation piece in Zoom calls, and we love the most being able to support artists in our communities as well.
