Silent Witness

Dimensions: 20" x 24"
Material: 1" Deep Canvas

I was drawn to this composition for its striking contrasts—the rugged, notched Douglas fir trunk against the soft, chartreuse moss, all illuminated by dramatic streams of light. Capturing this scene on canvas was a challenge, and there were moments I doubted I could convey the complexities in the textures to my satisfaction. I'm very pleased that my efforts were rewarded.

Resilience

Dimensions: 24" x 24"
Material: 2" Deep Canvas

If you’re lucky enough to visit Tofino and Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island, be sure to explore the stunning Pacific Trail in Ucluelet. The trees along this windswept path are true survivors, shaped by the harsh coastal conditions. Their stunted sculptural forms tell the story of resilience. Don't they look like works of art?

Waiting at Wah'nah'juss Hilth'hooiss (Meares Island)

Dimensions: 30" x 24"
Material: 2" Deep Canvas

On a solo trip to Tofino, I booked a kayak tour to Meares Island. As we pulled our kayaks ashore, I bent down to peer beneath a drooping cedar branch—only to discover this beautiful Haida canoe nestled in the shadows. In that moment, it felt as if I had stepped through a portal into the past, to a time when canoes were the lifeblood of travel. Meares Island carries a deep, almost mystical energy, making the experience feel all the more rare and special.
