My life in Art

Making art to inspire, to connect and to feel fully alive. 
Notify Me

Custom paintings involve meeting people in town and creating work from their photos and also from the stories they tell me about the characters.

Part of what I love about my work is the connection to community. Photos are a great way to have an interesting conversation with strangers. Bev is someone I met at the Drumheller Market and I had the honour of visiting her home.

I usually get a few lines of information - which is all I need to create the paintings, but n this case, I have a whole book full of stories to work from!  Bev Myers married into a family with a long history in the Drumheller valley. May Murphy, an Aunt on her husband's side, published a book about this history and now Bev would like to get a couple of paintings to celebrate the family. I'm honour for the opportunity to work with such a lovely family and their stories.  

Stay tuned for updates on the photos I choose to work with and how I will use them in my paintings.
