GALLERY OF WORKS IN A SERIES


FOREST

BATHING

SERIES

 

In this FOREST BATHING series of paintings I'm going back to my roots--depicting places I grew up in. Looking back at what I love to paint, I realized that so much of what I find beautiful is the landscape that surrounded me as a kid growing up in Millcreek ravine.   The Japanese term shinrin-yoku translates to “forest bathing” or “absorbing the forest atmosphere.” I've been absorbing the forest my whole life. I think tall trees made me feel small and enveloped. But also it evoked in me awe and wonder. It's no surprise, then, when I see the paintings I've created in the past, they are mostly some expression of these elements. They still spark the desire to explore my beautiful expansive backyard.

Mountain Landscape

THE PRAIRIES
& THE 
ROCKIES

I can't decide which I love better: painting trees or painting mountains. Good thing I don't have to choose. I remember driving to the Rockies on vacation as a kid--well no, I was drugged up on Gravel because I got so carsick. This probably explains why, when I came out of my groggy stupor and realized these majestic, giant, towering rocks around our car, I was in awe! That feeling has not left me--I am called to the mountains. I've been painting or drawing mountains in all styles my whole life--it's a life series, so here are a few of my favourites in my PRAIRIES & THE ROCKIES SERIES.

LATITUDE 
50 
LANDSCAPES

I was invited by Galleri SoHo to exhibit. So, in June 2025 I travelled to Vasteras, Sweden to present a duo exhibition called Latitude 50 Landscapes with Daniela Bahry. These are the paintings that I created specifically for the exhibit to showcase the place I love in Alberta that are literally close to home. The landscape in that part of Sweden is so similar to my home. Heading from Stockholm to Vasteras, we were struck by the bright yellow canola fields and vast farmland. It was an incredible 3 weeks in Sweden travelling around, plein air painting, and sharing our artwork with visitors to the gallery. 

ROCKS & FIELDS
TRANS-FORMATIONS

I was thrilled to have my first solo exhibition hosted by the Alberta Society of Artists. It ran in Edmonton at the Walterdale Theatre in February 2026. The selection of paintings are a celebration of the vast Alberta landscape. From the open prairies that stretch endlessly under shifting skies to the rugged faces of the Rocky Mountains of Canmore and Banff, these works are a meditation on how the land holds both memory and transformation. I have a deep appreciation for the landscape that has shaped my life and provided a playground to enjoy physically and to devote a lifetime of paintings.
