  Going With the Floe- acrylic on canvas, 20×40, $1800

  Solo Exhibition at Galerie LaFab Oct 17 – Dec 6, 2026   https://lafabsurmill.ca/visual-arts/gallery/

  In Going with the Floe, I used an expansive panoramic canvas to capture the immense scale of the High Arctic marine wilderness. The foreground is anchored by the massive flukes of a bowhead whale diving into a vibrant blue ocean, streams of turquoise water cascading from its tail. In the upper right background, I painted a tiny row of red canvas tents sitting quietly on the landfast ice - a direct nod to my personal experience living on the sea ice off Baffin Island. Rather than presenting humans as conquerors of the landscape, my goal was to highlight our fragile, minor presence within an ecosystem ruled by ancient marine giants.

  To give the deep sea an energetic, colourful vitality, I built the ocean from a dense tapestry of pointillist dots and mosaic chunks of floating ice. By positioning our small human footprint against the endless blue peaks of the northern coastline, the composition emphasizes our quiet place within Earth's grandest sanctuaries and the natural scale that governs this landscape.

  Waiting, acrylic on canvas, 24″x36″, $1750

  Solo Exhibition at Galerie LaFab Oct 17 – Dec 6, 2026   https://lafabsurmill.ca/visual-arts/gallery/

  In Waiting, I wanted to focus entirely on the silent, suspended tension that governs survival on the frozen tundra. This canvas captures a massive polar bear leaning over a seal breathing hole cut into the sea ice, its powerful hind paws anchored on a textured ridge of turquoise ice. In the High Arctic, a bear may wait for hours or even days at a single hole for a seal to surface - a focused posture that embodies extreme patience and represents the fine line between life and starvation.

  To transform this heavy stillness into a pulsing environment, I emphasized the profound contrast of scale across the endless plain of sea ice. I constructed the landscape using a meticulous grid of pale grey, blues and white blocks, introducing two separate breathing holes to highlight the tactical chess match of the hunt. Together, the polar bear, the deep indigo hole in the foreground, and the seal hole far in the distance form a distinct triangulated geometry. With the number three representing balance and interconnectedness, this dynamic trio maps out the calculated risks of a shifting landscape.

  Making Tracks – 24″ x 24″, acrylic on canvas, $1350, framed in walnut

  $1,350.00

  In Making Tracks, I wanted to capture the invigorating magic of a crisp winter day, where a deer and a skier briefly share a synchronized path through the snow. The composition is built on a dynamic tension of direction: the horizontal stride of the deer and the bright red tips of the skis create rapid movement across the canvas, which is grounded and held still by the rigid vertical lines of the birch trees and their long, angled blue shadows.

  The realistic form of the leaping deer is set within a stylized, slightly surreal woodland environment. I built the dense background forest out of a mosaic of pastel pinks, yellows, and blues, contrasting sharply against the stark white terrain to give the scene a fairytale-like luminosity. While the ski tracks cut directly through the deer’s natural habitat, the composition deliberately shows both subjects traveling side-by-side in the same direction. Rather than representing a conflict between human recreation and wild spaces, the shared lines suggest a rare moment of harmony- a portrait of a skier moving completely in tune with the rhythm of the woods.

  Call to Action, acrylic on canvas, 24″x36″, $1750

  Solo Exhibition at Galerie LaFab Oct 17 – Dec 6, 2026   https://lafabsurmill.ca/visual-arts/gallery/

  With Call to Action, I used the vital, surging energy of a trio of snow geese ascending over fragmented Arctic waters to explore the power of collective movement. The composition is charged with sound and motion, showcasing the birds with outstretched wings and open bills, their stark white plumage cutting dynamically against the sea. By capturing the dramatic moment of a powerful takeoff - marked by a heavy splash of textured white foam - I wanted to ground their physical resilience in an urgent, vocal rallying cry.

  This flock serves as a central metaphor for the core message of my exhibition: a collective awakening and a shared push toward environmental advocacy.
