Amid the Heat - Not Available. Acrylic on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. Golden petals flare against shifting skies; these California poppies bloom defiantly along BC's coast. They thrive in sun-baked soil, persisting through drought and flame.

Tug at Dusk, Vancouver Narrows. Acrylic on cradled wood, 10 × 10 inches. A quiet tribute to working waters, this small painting captures a tugboat slipping through the Vancouver Narrows at dusk. Beneath a sky streaked with salmon pink and brooding blue, the vessel becomes a silhouette of strength and solitude — part of the coastal rhythm that sustains the harbour.

Nai'kun House Point. Acrylic on canvas, 15 × 30 inches. Inspired by Haida Gwaii and the powerful Haida origin story, this piece honours the sacred shoreline of Nai'kun House Point — where land, sea, and sky converge. With sweeping waves and circling gulls, the painting whispers a longing: that these waters remain pure, the sands undisturbed, and the ancestral stories carried forever in the wind.

Scarred Wealth. Acrylic on canvas, 40 x 16 inches. This piece confronts the legacy of industrial logging in Haida Gwaii, where clearcutting has stripped away ancient ecosystems and cultural memory. Inspired by Emily Carr’s Scorned as Timber, Beloved of Sky, this piece centers a single wounded tree, a last haven for displaced wildlife. Above, a forestry helicopter airlifts a scroll marked with symbolic wealth — its roots dangling — as if value can be extracted without consequence. Scarred Wealth is a visual protest: a call to reexamine the cost of profit-driven land use and to defend what remains.
Pulse - In Private Collection. Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 24 inches. A quiet rhythm flows through this monochrome view of the Seymour River — the same waters that once bore the burden of a landslide’s destruction and the resilience of salmon carried by truck to reach their spawning grounds. Swimmers drift like echoes of life, barely seen but wholly felt. This painting honours both human and ecological healing.
Take a Journey Without Destination - In Private Collection. Acrylic on canvas, 20 x 24 inches. Inspired by Alberta’s storied open roads, this piece invites the viewer to surrender to motion — not for where it leads, but for the quiet revelations along the way. With no fixed end in sight, the journey becomes the destination.
