Latest commission for a special collector 🧚🏼‍♂️

She has inspired my work before. With 'The Caring Hand' she challenged me to paint light breaking through the earth.
This time she has me chasing light in the quiet of the forest.
A fairy admiring the warm glow of fireflies against the twilight and shadowed green.

I love how she leads me to paint settings where light feels discovered rather than placed.

This painting began as a landscape of Peggy’s Cove, but gradually became something more.

Though the lighthouse is recognizable, the land and water drift off blending East and West, ocean and lake, memory and movement. The Muskoka chairs are familiar to the site, while the landscape itself quietly tells a larger story. The rocks shift in shape, texture and colour, borrowing elements from the Canadian West Coast. The water too, carries the movement of the ocean while holding the stillness of a lake.

What makes this painting especially meaningful is that the blending of coastlines was never planned. The union of East and West revealed itself only near the end of the painting process, much like memory does.

Titled 'Coast to Coast', this piece was gifted to a couple whose travels have spanned from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. Two edges of the same country, held together in one quiet moment. A painting about distance, connection and the beauty of finding yourself somewhere in between🩵

Painted Portraits carry more than paint and colour. They carry love, grief and memory. This portrait was commissioned for the parents of a young woman who left this world too soon, a deeply heartfelt gift from her closest friend 🤍

I chose to let go of one of my very first Painted Memories Originals.

Hanging in my studio since 2018, witnessing countless late night brush strokes and early morning doubts. Watching me grow and improve, hung there as a quiet reminder of where this journey began. There is joy in letting it go, knowing that it will be seen, loved and part of a life beyond these four walls. Someone somewhere else, just might feel what I felt all those years ago while creating it.

Yet, if I'm honest, it's bitter sweet. This painting has been mine for so long and suddenly there's an empty space where it once rested. Perhaps an invitation? A gentle nudge to continue creating and filling emptiness with art, with passion and with... well, memories... painted memories 💖

I appreciate this painting for all that it's taught me and for all that it carries. And I thank my new collector. May this painting be as generous to you as it has been to me.
