Maritime Eastern Provinces's new mini's now available
Here are a few mini originals that I just finished. I will be doing more as time allows. I love the ocean and have wanted to paint sailboats in it for a long time and am finally carving out the time here and there to get my ocean fix. If you'd like one let me know. I will add these to my online store shortly. Just message me in the meantime.
![IMG_1096[13757].jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/95ea74_4a9c6fe1f05c4187a08650b602f51cbd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_320,h_320,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/IMG_1096%5B13757%5D.jpg)
Sail On,
Nova Scotia
5"x7" acrylics on canvas
This beautiful peaceful sunset with the sailboats in the ocean will take you away to the ocean every time you view it. I loved playing in the water with my paint and brush to create this piece. The original is $125 and this lovely mini can be placed on a mini easel to display or hung on a wall. It would look amazing framed as well.

Bliss,

6"x8" acrylics on canvas
Oh the memories of the amazing sunsets on the ocean. This piece is created from when I was in Nova Scotia. Mahone Bay is truly one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. The vibrant colours of the sunset were otherworldly and this piece will take you away to enjoy the moment too. $170 contact me to view or purchase.
Vancouver Island magical "Tree Portraits"
In August 2021 I finally was able to go to Vancouver Island again. During my trip I was able to go through some forests in Mill Bay that are so different from Alberta's. Filled with ferns and moss, they are botanical rain forests that feel like you are walking through another time. These 3 - 9"x12" paintings were created on cradled birchwood panels and were done using acrylics. I will have them available soon as prints on canvas or paper, as well as art greeting cards. They are exclusively posted on my website and haven't been shown through social media yet. The originals are available and I am enjoying them until such time as I am ready to let them go. If you are serious about wanting to purchase one contact me. I will be continuing to grow this series in between other projects and will unveil them sometime in the Spring of 2022. I can also do a commission of one for you as well, as I took so many reference photos and can't wait to paint them all.

Moss Heaven
Hollis Creek, Mill Bay, Vancouver Island, BC
12"x16" Acrylics on Birch wood panel
The moss growing and hanging from the trees in the forest and a stream flowing through it was so beautiful. I loved painting this keepsake of our almost daily walk through this magical rain forest.

Where There's a Will...
Hollis Creek, Mill Bay, Vancouver Island, BC
12"x16" Acrylics on Birch wood panel
Even a tree stump surrounded by the beautiful ferns was spectacular to look at and walk past on this trail. I loved painting this keepsake of our almost daily walk through this magical rain forest.

The Majesty of Moss
Hollis Creek, Mill Bay, Vancouver Island, BC
12"x16" Acrylics on Birch wood panel
More moss covered trees and ferns, along our way, I just couldn't get enough of them. I loved painting this keepsake of our almost daily walk through this magical rain forest.
Beautiful "Northside" spots in Edmonton...
A client of mine (Michelle) commissioned me to paint 3 paintings of Edmonton that are super special to her as she goes for walks with her dog Poppy to them. I'm thrilled to show them to you all and will do prints of them by request. They are a fabulous addition to my Edmonton river valley series as they represent the "north side" of Edmonton. Previously I have done one painting of the "northside" of the beautiful wall of fire (what I call the row of Sugar Maples along 97 Street in the fall); and that painting is called Canadian Forces Way. So its fabulous to have the Northside better represented now for my series of Edmonton! You can find that other painting I did under shop my collections - fall. Now I have more unique nature spots in our beautiful city to share. And here they are....



"The Fountain", Rundle Park
12"x16" Acrylics on Birch wood panel
Rundle Park is a beautiful park located in the North East side of Edmonton. I loved painting this beautiful fountain and it is an iconic spot in this park. If you're interested in reproductions of this painting contact me. I haven't ordered prints of it yet, but will upon special request.
Among the Wild Flowers, North East Trails, Edmonton river valley
12"x16" Acrylics on Birch wood panel
There is a new beautiful subdivison and trails on the North East side and I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to paint these beautiful wild flowers by the river. If you're interested in reproductions of this painting contact me. I haven't ordered prints of it yet, but will upon special request.
Morning Bliss, Hermitage Park
12"x16" Acrylics on Birch wood panel
Years ago I lived in Clareview for a while and Hermitage Park is a beautiful park in that area of Northeast Edmonton. Painting this brought back memories of this trail and the railroad that goes over the valley. It is so lush in that area and such a beautiful escape from it all. If you're interested in reproductions of this painting contact me. I haven't ordered prints of it yet, but will upon special request.
Mini Textured Oils - Original Canola's


Sample showing a diptych, (two) pushed together.
I'm so excited to offer these experimental, textured,mini oil paintings for the first time. I haven't painted any minis for my collectors as I've been focused on larger paintings since pursuing my art full time. It is a full circle moment for me as when I first started painting many years ago I did minis in watercolours. These are experimental works inspired from my Alberta Travels to Camrose, Stony Plain all the way to Waterton Lakes. These mini paintings of canola fields are 5"x7" "oil" on a cradled birchwood canvas so you can place it on a stand or hang it on the wall. You'll love the textures and they will brighten up any room. I will custom create more as requested, so if I'm sold out of one I can recreate one similiar of it for you. I will also be painting mini wheat fields as well. I'm just getting started!
They are $125 each and I have numbered them so let me know which one you are interested in by selecting it below.
My Blossoms textured oil painting series
Inspired by the blossoms in the river valley, this is my textured experimental oil blossom series on tondo's! These 4 paintings are the beginning of this series and they are all now available and are on a 14" cradled birch wood panel.

I've wanted to offer an experimental style of my originals at a super affordable pricepoint for quite some time. These Blossoms start at only $300 for a 14" round tondo birch wood panel. They are created in a more abstract, looser, textured style in oils. I will also do custom orders of other Blossoms according to size. Click on the link "view details" for more information.

All 3 are available as paper prints the same size or giclee canvas reproductions stretched and ready to hang on the wall to enjoy!
At the end of July during Phase 3 of the Covid 19, I was finally able to go on a business road trip to re-spark my creativity and to take reference photos of what I would like to paint in our beautiful country; and this spot and painting has started my new "On the Road Again" and are part of my Canadiana painting series. When I was there it is like being in a holy sanctuary to me, so utterly beautiful and awe inspiring. People travel from all over the world to visit this Unesco World Heritage Site in Lake Louise and they will again when this passes. Paper and giclee canvas reproductions are now available and in stock. Stay safe everyone and enjoy the beauty around us...

Journey of the Ice Floats
North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton, AB
16"x20"
Acrylics on Birch wood panel
This painting was inspired from another painting that I did of ice floating down the river. My clients little girls loved the other painting and wanted an original similar to it but with snow on the trees and pink in the sunset. Done! They loved it. This piece is available by special request as prints. I do now have it available as art cards now but please just send me a message and we will put together your special order for this one.

Untitled
11"x14"
Acrylics on Canvas
It was a pleasure to make my clients creative vision a reality. Her pastor and his wife are retiring soon from their church and they have a red thunderbird. So here they are driving off into a beautiful Spring morning on the highway off on a new adventure in life! This was a labour of love to do creatively and a challenge as there weren't any photos of them from the back or in their car...but we pulled it off! Safe travels to them on their new journey.

A Pause in the Mischief
12"x 12"
Acrylics on Birch wood panel
It was a pleasure to paint this for my client Codi as a birthday surprise for his fiance Rene. I loved the photo that he provided me with and took the creative liberty to refine and simplify the composition (after discussing my concept with him); by leaving some of the birchwood panel I used to paint this on to show through in the background and minimizing and omitting other background objects and furniture. I kept it simple and left the chair that the kitty was on and the tabi watching from a distance. Love the simple contrast of the design elements in it from the fur, chair legs and floor below.
