  Night Life, acrylic on canvas, 30″x48″, Private Collection of the Artist

  Who needs the “bright lights” of the city?

  We find ourselves mesmerized by the owl and his nighttime flight.

  Colour and texture fill the painting!
  The hills that cut across the background are alight with bold colours.
  The “evergreens” add depth as they are seen below,
  and their reds along with the golden forest floor add to the vibrancy of the nighttime scene.

  Horizontal lines of deep blues within the sky and water alternate with the reds, framing the scene.
  The birch and pine trees cut through the horizontal sections in both their vertical direction and their turquoise tones.

  The barred owl seems illuminated as its natural colours pop against the background.
  It’s on the right side of the canvas but looking to fly left across the scene,
  inviting the viewer to join the owl’s flight path through the forest.

  Snowy Pursuit, acrylic on canvas, 36″x36″, $2000

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

  In Snowy Pursuit, I wanted to map the high-stakes drama of the Arctic skies by exploring the concepts of presence and absence. This square canvas captures a snowy owl in full mid-flight, its sweeping, intricate barred wings extending across the frame as its intense yellow eyes lock onto a trail below. Across the frozen landscape, a clear path of Arctic hare tracks charts a frantic escape over the sea ice. Rather than documenting a simple chase, this scene draws a direct parallel to the exhibition’s core theme: tracing the subtle footsteps left behind by northern life.

  To elevate this pursuit into a statement on presence, I chose to make the landscape itself vibrate with a pulsing energy. I built the expansive sea ice from a meticulous grid of white mosaic tiles, providing a stark, high-contrast backdrop that forces the eye to track those small, detailed blue prints. By framing this aerial vantage point against a jagged mountain range and a sky filled with a dense, colourful field of turquoise and lilac tiles, my goal is to invite you to follow the literal tracks of survival - and contemplate the weight of our own delicate footprint on this frozen sanctuary.

  While We Sleep, acrylic on canvas, 24″x40″, $1800

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

  What spirits guard the landscape when the human world retreats into slumber? Inspired by living for 11 days in a canvas tent on the sea ice off Baffin Island, While We Sleep explores the quiet overnight equilibrium between human presence and the raw forces of the North. The row of glowing shelters includes my own, emphasizing our fragile footprint resting beneath a vast northern expanse.

  With the sun remaining continuously below the horizon during this deep winter cycle, a raven takes flight across the foreground. Drawing on northern mythological symbolism where the raven stands as a powerful transformer and vigilant guardian, its flight bridges the human and spiritual realms.

  I rendered the perpetual night sky in dense, pulsing pointillism, split by a vibrant, mosaic-like ribbon of green and gold aurora borealis, while the mountains rise through rhythmic linework matching the sky's energy. By juxtaposing our structures with the enduring sovereignty of the raven, this piece reframes the Arctic as a living sanctuary that remains awake, protective, and profoundly alive even while we sleep

  Here We Are, acrylic on canvas, 12″x12″, $550 framed

  $550.00

  In Here We Are, the Great Horned Owls mesmerize us with their gaze. Owls are often unseen, being  nocturnal, often silent and well camouflaged. But they are strong and powerful.

  The Great Horned Owl has been particularly adept at adapting to climate change, changing habitats and nesting sites and tolerating disturbances. However, climate change may also be harming the relationships with prey, which could lead to population decline.

  In Here We Are, the owls stare directly at us, protective, yet powerful, letting us know that this force is Their home
