I was recently scrolling through some pictures on my phone of adventures and places I have wandered to in the last year when I came upon a photo of an owl perched in an old maple tree.
It got me reminiscing about the late night walk I was taking my dog, Gus through the acreage we were living on at the time. There was the most stunning silver moon out that night and this loud noise that drew us out of the house in search of the source.
It turned out to be a majestic night owl perched high in the tree. I love how a picture can inspire a memory and a painting can bring back all of the sights, sounds, smells and emotions of a moment in time.

When I saw a photo of these hand carved canoes sitting on the shoreline of the majestic Haida Gwaii I felt as if I was transported to another time and place entirely. It is hard to describe the feeling, except to say that every one of my senses was lit up in an instant. I could smell the sea water, hear the call of the seagulls overhead, feel the chill of the ocean air raising the hairs on my arms. The beat of the war drums was felt deep in my soul as if I was being called to this place.
I have never been here, at least not in this lifetime. My soul and every fiber of my being knew this place as sure as every brush stroke. My hope is that through this piece your senses will be engaged as well.
