Painted on site at the Celebrating Our Backyards show at the ASA Gallery in Calgary.
While doing an 84km bike ride of Calgary's beyond exquisite bike paths I explored many neighbourhoods and areas of the city, taking many photos. I was nearing the end of my ride and while I have many exceptional photos, including some that will hopefully be paintings in the future, none of them sang with the definitive "this is the one." I rode across a beautiful bridge and up a much too steep of hill for how tired I was (half my brakes broke and I forgot my food). Near Weaselhead North Glenmore Park I came across the most stunning view of the Elbow River meandering into what would also be astonishingly beautiful, the Glenmore Resevoir. I heard the internal scream I had been waiting for which was THIS IS IT!
Water is a universal connector—flowing across landscapes, shaping our environments, and grounding us in memory and experience. No matter where we come from, waterways evoke a sense of calm, reflection, and renewal. My work explores these deep connections, inviting viewers to engage with nature’s rhythms and find moments of peace within them.
Convergence, captures the meeting of waters in a river valley, symbolizing unity, resilience, and the ever-changing flow of life.
