Artist Statement

This painting was done as part of my Highway 16 Series. I regularly travel back to Alberta via the Highway 16 route to visit family. The inspiration for this was from a blurry photo that I took while we were driving back from Alberta one snowy winter day. Images of snow can be beautiful, and can elicit feelings of peace and a sense of inner stillness. An awakening of those feelings was what I was trying to communicate in this painting.
