"Forest Fresh" captures calm forest vibes with the sunlight filtering through the canopy and glowing from the mossy floor.
If you turn to the forest for a breath of fresh air and renewal, then this painting will really bring some magic to your space.

A few paintings now on display at the Nelson Visitor Centre in their beautiful gift shop!

Always grateful to have some original work featured on a gallery wall. The opportunities are extremely limited!

I was struck by the contrast between the preservation principles of Glacier National Park and the realities of being a major transportation corridor. As the trucks burned fossil fuels, the glaciers caught the last light of the day. Can all these ancient powers coexist in the modern world?

I've started making some of my prints available with a local print shop. They do a fantastic job with top quality materials and hand stretching. πŸ˜€
