Almost every day, I wear a silver necklace with a raven on it. It's the Pyrrha “Unbreakable” talisman, which I bought for myself years ago because its symbolism resonated with me.

“This talisman reads 'Flecti Non Frangi' in Latin, meaning 'To be Bent not Broken.' It refers to one who can endure hardship yet still remain true to themselves. The raven signifies hope and is believed to have keen vision that pierces through all darkness.” - Pyrrha

When I bought it, I was in the midst of deep healing from past hardships and traumas. Since then, I have worn it every day as a reminder of my own resilience and strength. During challenging times, I can hold this raven pendant and remind myself that I have the strength to weather the storm.

"Courage, dear heart. Like the raven that flies against the storm, we too can find strength in adversity." - C.S. Lewis

I know summer has barely ended and autumn is just beginning to unfold, but I find myself eagerly anticipating the calm of winter and the serenity that comes with a snowfall. As snow blankets the earth, it transforms the landscape, muffling the noise of the world and creating a cocoon of quiet. It offers an opportunity to slow down. Here, I represent a wolf alone in the snow-covered woods, navigating the solitude. I imagine the wolf's serenity as it walks, hearing nothing, not even the sound of its own footfalls. In a world that is complex, loud, and busy, I look forward to the cooler, shorter days of winter as my chance to slow down and find tranquility.

"Veiled Pursuit" is a tribute to the quiet fortitude and calm determination of a cougar as it moves through the shadows of the forest. The painting aims to reflect the natural grace and focused intent of this majestic creature, merging seamlessly with its surroundings. The dark, enveloping forest creates an atmosphere of suspense, drawing the viewer into the cougar's silent and patient approach.

Whenever my husband and I visit family in the small community of Bella Bella, BC we are blessed with wildlife sightings of all kinds. One in particular is the convocation of Eagles guaranteed to be standing watch at the harbour. These sentinels are confidently perched, surveying the goings on during all hours of the day. This eagle stands guard during dawn, as the sun rises, illuminating all the day has to offer him.

Last summer my husband and I went camping for four days at Horne Lake on Vancouver Island - a beautiful lake surrounded by steep hills. One of the mornings we went and sat at the lake shore with our coffees to enjoy the serenity and solitude. Very unexpectedly, in the corner of my eye I see an Eagle swoop down from the tree line behind us, descend to the surface of the water about 20 feet from where we are sitting, pick up a fish, and ascend back to the tree line. From our front row seats we could not believe what we had just witnessed. To us it was remarkable - to the Eagle it seemed effortless. It happened in the blink of an eye, and yet it was also in slow motion.

I took it as a good reminder that we don’t need to try so hard to witness the beauty and wonder of nature. If we sit still and quiet, and stop taking up so much unnecessary space, nature finds us.

I was inspired to create this painting after a Fall hike up to Lake Helen Mackenzie on Mount Washington. My sister-in-law and I squeezes in a last hike before the rain and snow same. We went on a beautiful day, enjoying the sunshine and taking in the colourful fall ground cover in the meadows. We sat for hours at Helen Mackenzie, and were joined by a Lady Bug that was hanging out on my pack.

Ladybugs are often a symbol of transformation, guidance, and new beginnings, which at this change of seasons felt very fitting!

At the beginning of the year we moved into a new rental, and with that rental came our own garden bed. My first year gardening was a rewarding learning experience. I had a very large, abundant zucchini plant and every day, several times a day, I would check on this plant, and I would get so excited when I would see a Bee nearby.I had thought I understood the importance of Bees, but once I started gardening I felt the direct influence of them. If they didn't come, I didn't get food to eat. When they did come, I was left with an immense feeling of gratitude. So I suppose this painting is my thank you to the Bees.

I have been fortunate enough to live my life thus far on the "Island of the Sea Wolves". That makes it sound like they are everywhere. I have only seen the sea wolves so far. My husband and I were visiting the small First Nations community of Ahousat, off the coast of Tofino, BC. On our way back to the village from a fishing trip we spotted the pack of wolves on the rocky shore. We stopped, turned off the boat, and quietly admired them. While observing them, it was very clear who the Alpha was, standing taller than the rest. We watched as the others fell in line when the Alpha decided he had lost interest in us, and proceeded along the shoreline. It was an amazing experience to witness these elusive figures in person.

This painting is part of the on-going series of “half-faces”, depicting a variety of West Coast wildlife, but with only half of their face exposed, acting as a commentary on how we can attempt to, but never fully understand these majestic, wild creatures.

This painting is based on a photo I captured during my first trip to Bella Bella, BC. Upon returning to town from a fishing trip that was enjoyable, but unsuccessful, we were slowly pulling in to the dock and where met with the judgemental stairs of these two Eagles. Often, fishermen will fillet the catch right on their boats after docking, and will through the scraps aside for the Eagles to enjoy. There was a lot of humour in this moment with the Eagles, as though they were saying “Some fishermen you are?! We’re hungry”.

I could not begin to count the number of interactions I have had with seals in my lifetime living on the West Coast, and yet I never tire of seeing them. I remember as a child seeing them from the dock in Deep Bay when I would visit my Grandparents, or from my Grandpa's boat. Each time I visit the K’omoks Estuary in Courtenay I look for their heads to pop out of the water and looking back at me with curious eyes. Sometimes they are mid-hunt and splashing around trying to catch fish.

In 2021 my husband and I were tubing down the Puntledge River and encountered one far further up river than we ever expected, and only a few meters from our tubes!

I honestly never tire of my encounters with these beings. Anyone who has lived long enough on the West Coast has their own story of a memorable encounter with a seal. What's your story?

One of the animals on Vancouver Island that I most admire is the Blue Heron. I like to frequent the Comox Valley Air Park along the K’omoks Estuary because there is always so much activity, and you can almost always count on seeing at least one Blue Heron. Whether standing on shore, wading in the water, or gliding through the air, they are one of the most graceful and stunning animals. They have a tranquility that is catching, and the sense of calm in their quiet solitude is something I think we could all use more of in our lives.

I have always been mesmerized by jellyfish. Growing up on Vancouver Island, I spent a lot of time at the beach, and was regularly in the presence of small moon jellies. When I would go fishing with my grandpa near Deep Bay I was always bent over the side of the boat watching them, mesmerized.

I love how, in the darkness of the water, the jellyfish bring the light from within. As a painter, I love exploring light and how it behaves in a variety of environments, which made this painting a pleasure to create.
