The Vanishing Acreage. Acrylic on canvas. 15 x 30 inches. Inspired by the 100 Mile Diet movement, this painting reflects on the fragile balance between food sovereignty and land loss. The disappearing Canadian family farm stands at the edge of industrialization, memory, and resilience. Sweeping skies and rooted trees surround a barn barely holding its shape — a question, not an answer: Can we still feed ourselves locally?

Their presence is more than nutritional: each form hums with warmth, complexity, and quiet defense. It speaks to resilience through food — a celebration of local colour, sustenance, and the quiet strength of northern harvests.
