I created this collection to show my appreciation and deep gratitude for the beauty of the place where I live—the abundant, unspoiled wilderness and natural wonders of British Columbia. I am continually taken aback by my province’s inspiring, breathtaking views that reconnect me to nature’s beauty.
I was inspired by dramatic silhouettes of cliffs, the abundance of trees, and the open blue sky above masses of water. Majestic mountain fjords, the movement of water, and reflections of light dance on the surface of these paintings and flow in the air around them.
This collection features overlapping layers of brush strokes that imitate the fluidity of the environment and create shapes that move. Shades of green and blue intersect with teal and lighter tones bring lightness and air. This all comes together to exude a natural energy and a sense of wonder.
This series is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, appreciate, and immerse. As we notice and discover beauty around us, we discover more about ourselves. Approaching the natural world with understanding and gratitude can change how we perceive our own existence.
