Where the Wild Awakens
This is where the story continues.
The Collections Story
These paintings were born in the first open chapter of my life.
After decades of full calendars, corporate goals, and measured milestones, I found myself standing at the edge of something wide and uncharted. Many people my age call that moment the beginning of the end. I never saw it that way.
For me it was renewal. Not the kind that asks you to leave your past behind, but the kind that rises from it. All those years of work and living and learning had been quietly preparing the ground. This was the moment something new could grow from it.
Renewal is not a fresh start. It is an expansion. It is what happens when you finally give yourself permission to offer something more of yourself to the world.
These six paintings carry that feeling. The light is breaking through. The world is stirring again. The quiet and fierce beauty of beginning.

WHEN THE LIGHT RETURNS
I painted this after one of my first hikes on the British Columbia West Coast. The climb up The Stawamus Chief in Squamish asked everything of me. And then, without warning, the path opened into a meadow. Wildflowers in every colour. Mountains standing watch. My breath coming back to me.
This painting is that moment. The one that arrives after the hardest stretch, when colour returns and the world reminds you that rest was always waiting. Renewal does not rush. It arrives when it is ready.

MORNING HUSH
This painting began as an exercise. No plan. No palette knife. Just broad, loose brushstrokes and the freedom of not knowing where it was going.
It became something else entirely. Those wide open fields, still glistening with morning dew, that hushed moment before the day finds its voice. It reminded me that renewal is not always grand or deliberate. Sometimes it arrives in the quiet of an early morning, in the simple act of beginning again.
In my creative practice, as in life, loosening the grip is where the magic lives.

CRIMSON DANCE
24"W x 12"H · Original $1,440 CAD
I grew up playing in aspen groves along the river. Those forests were where I went to think, to breathe, to feel held by something larger than myself.
This painting is that memory, alive in colour. The birch trunks stand close together like old companions, their white bark glowing against the wild crimson of the forest floor. The red does not whisper here. It dances. Bold and unapologetic, the way nature is when it is fully itself.
If you look closely enough, you might catch something watching from between the trees. The forest has always had that quality. The feeling that you are never quite alone in it.

LAVENDER SKY
I have never walked through a lavender field in France. But I have imagined it so completely, through books and longing and the quiet daydreams of a girl who grew up on the open prairies, that it lives in me as vividly as a memory.
This painting is that place. Rows of purple and green stretching toward soft rolling hills. The sun low and golden, unwrapping the end of the day like a gift you have been anticipating all week. The fragrance you can almost feel just by looking.
Nature offers us all of this. The beauty, the calm, the slow deep breath. We only have to stop long enough to notice.

SCARLET
I painted Scarlet because I had to. There was no deeper reason than that. She demanded to exist on canvas and I obliged.
But the longer I sat with her, the more she made sense in this collection. Scarlet is a study in renewal on her own terms. She does not seek approval. She holds her ground, surveys her world with those extraordinary eyes, and moves through life with a quiet, unhurried confidence that most of us spend decades trying to find.
Her red scarf is pure joy. A reminder that reinvention does not always have to be serious. Sometimes it arrives with colour and a little drama and a look that says I know exactly who I am. Do you?

FIELD OF FREEDOM
24"W x 24"H · Original $2,880 CAD
I painted this thinking of my sister. She loved wide-brimmed hats, dreamed of France, and carried a list of places she never quite reached. When she passed, I felt the weight of unfinished dreams. So I painted her walking through the field she never got to cross. Unbound. Surrounded by colour. Moving toward open sky.
But as the painting grew, something else surfaced. I began thinking about the women who carry us before they carry themselves. Mothers. Sisters. Grandmothers. Women who love imperfectly and fiercely and quietly all at once.
This painting is for all of them. And for the compassion that arrives in us, slowly, when we are finally old enough to see them not just as the women who raised us, but as women becoming, just like us.
