"The main focus of my work has become storytelling...
honouring the lives + stories of women
through portraiture."

"Two Canoes"

Two Canoes / 36x36 / acrylic on canvas

One of my favorite things to do in the mountains is to walk along the river and sketch or photograph images to use in paintings.  I definitely utilize artistic license when I paint the pieces inspired by the scenery, but love to capture that magical feeling of being in the Rockies.  Because I usually spend my time in the mountains with my husband, I wanted to add two canoes to the painting to represent those special times that partners spend together.  The spray painted patterns represent creating a home in a cozy mountain cabin while playing homage to the graffiti culture in the present time and also symbolize light filtering through clouds and evergreen branches.  This was such a pleasure to create.
