Sunrise Manifesto (36"x36")
$1800
A brilliant graffiti-inspired colour, a sunny expression with a glowing light suggesting a manifesto to live by, one of sunlight and possibility.
Into the Wild (36"x36")
$1950
There are times when we are called upon to move forward, into the unknown "wild" and even into danger. There are moments of trepidation, anxiousness, stress, and worry that accompanies that singular and maybe lonely experience, though nevertheless these times can be opportunities for self discovery and learning.
The Dancer in Green (36"x36")
$1500
Life is a dance, choreographed or not, expressions of drama and celebration, and sometimes pain and suffering.
Lover's Embrace (36"x24")
$1650
In a world endlessly always on fire the lucky can find healing and protection inside a loving embrace.
Harvest Moon (36"x24")
$1850
Reaping What You Sow - successes and spiritual growth is the foundation we build upon.
Balance and transition, and letting go: to "weed out" habits, thoughts, or relationships that no longer serve, clearing a path for new energy and growth.
The extra light of the Harvest Moon metaphorically provides time needed to finish gathering whatever we need before survival becomes difficult.
Symbolically, it represents unexpected provision and illumination, a final effort needed to achieve happiness.
The Blue Artist (36"x36")
$1700
Portrait of a blue artist.
Day of the Circus (24"x18")
$1100
As an artist who finds inspiration and lessons from the many artists who have come before, I work in gratitude and reverence, to honour the gifts they have given to the world.
Arthur Shilling is one such artist. An Ojibwa sent for "re-education" by the authorities of the day to Mohawk Institute Residential School. He survived to achieve great status as an artist and teacher.
Perhaps his residential school experience inspired this quote:
"There are not enough colours to subdue the shadows within me"
Sundown (24"x18")
$1450
A time of solitude and reflection, facing into an uncertain darkness before a new light arrives with more hopeful possibilities.
The Wave (18"x24")
$1100
A time of an overwhelming tsunami of danger is always lurking.
High Tide (36"x36")
$1450
A human and surreal chaotic drama.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (30"x24")
$1900
"for there is nothing heavier than compassion . Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes."
Milan Kundra
Send in the Clown (36"x36")
$1750
A cruel serenade of missed chances, when
life is falling apart, when disaster strikes, that is the time to bring in the entertainers...send in the clown...
Icarus (36"x36")
$1750
Icarus, in Greek mythology, perished by flying too close to the Sun with wings made of wax, which melted as he rose too high.
As many do, I question the idea - when does ambition lead to downfall, what is the contemporary relevance for this ancient mythology?
