Falling (2025) North South 2021Oil on canvas30 x 40 in A dog team and their driver sprawl across breaking river ice, the sled overturned as the light pours down in a vertical column of light. The moment is frozen between catastrophe and awe danger underfoot, wonder overhead. The painting captures the north at its most unforgiving and most spectacular, where survival and beauty arrive together.

and press toward the surface
pulling the eye — and the figure — toward a place just out of reach
where early spring light hits the water and color begins to stir in the landscape
Bold sweeps of ochre and white echo the sculpting force of water
nestled among the day’s debris — a soda bottle

Exaggerated faces and jagged gestures push the scene to the edge of the surreal
A line of caribou fights the river’s icy pull
Acrylic on canvas36 x 36 in
capturing the volatile psychology of northern nightlife
throwing fierce light across the snow as a figure raises their arms toward the blaze
this piece captures the quiet tension between motion and pause in the changing season
