Exhibition History:

2024 Celebrate Our Backyard, Calgary, Alberta

 

I could not paint the monthly paintings of the Skyscape Collection without painting our cadillac roads. A summer's road trip but particularly one in our backyard. Canola fields featured on both sides just outside of Islay, Alberta and a dramatic sky on the horizon.

 

Called Foundation in reference to many aspects from the foundation farmers need for successful crops to the foundations required by the many engineers and workers that go into building our roads. While on the surface it is a joyful summers drive, deeper down it is a representation of how many things in our life are connected and life is incredibly nuanced and beautifully grey.

 

Moving to Alberta in 2006 I fell in love with the raw visceral beauty of the prairies – in particular the vivid and often dramatic skies. I set about to capture it through 366 daily impressions of the living skies and 12 pieces created in oil on masonite to highlight the uniqueness of a moment that many may consider just part of the quintessential prairie experience.

 

I began 2020: A Year in Reflection to capture the essence of living in the prairies through over 380 impressions and realistic works highlighting Alberta through the seasons. However, as the year progressed and restrictions blurred day-to-day lives together, it became even more important to capture the ever-changing environment for myself and others. Through this, I wanted to remind us all of the hope and optimism that comes with change. And now when we look back on the difficulties of 2020 we are reminded that the beauty and resilience of the world around us is equally reflected in ourselves.

 

Limited edition reproductions of this painting are available. Only available in one size and there are only 88 editions in a run. After that, the print will be retired permanently.
