Investing in Legacy: Original Fine Art Paintings Ten Thousand and Over

As a Canadian artist with a decades-long career dedicated to exploring the iconography, landscapes, and identity of Canada through paint, I’ve come to appreciate the significance of creating artworks that resonate on a national—and deeply personal—level. My larger-scale and most intricate works, priced at $10,000 and above, represent the pinnacle of my creative practice: original fine art paintings that are not only visual statements but long-term investments in Canadian culture.

Why Collect High-End Canadian Art?

In the world of fine art collecting, paintings at this level offer more than aesthetic appeal—they carry value in narrative, originality, and rarity. These pieces are meticulously created over months of conceptual development, field research, and studio execution. They hold within them the stories of Canada’s people and places—its humour, its contradictions, its vast and varied geography.

Collectors of high-end art are often seeking something more than décor. They’re curating a legacy. Whether displayed in private homes, corporate collections, or public galleries, these paintings make bold and meaningful contributions to cultural dialogue. They become heirlooms, milestones, and at times, touchstones of national identity.

What Makes a Painting Worth $10,000 or More?

At this tier, you are not only acquiring an original painting, but a deeply considered, museum-quality artwork. These works are often:

• Very large in scale, commanding presence in a room or public space.

• Technically complex, involving layered techniques, hand-built surfaces, and archival-quality materials.

• Rich in story, often connected to significant Canadian themes, figures, or landscapes.

• Limited in availability, as only a handful of these large-format works are created each year.

The value is not solely in the canvas—it’s in the years of study, travel, and refinement that inform every brushstroke.

A Canadian Voice on Canvas

Over the course of my career, I’ve painted across this vast country—from the spirit sands of Manitoba to the ice roads of the Northwest Territories. My practice is grounded in a love for Canada and an unrelenting curiosity about its people, places, and symbols. Whether inspired by pop culture, natural wonder, or personal memory, my work invites viewers to reflect on their own connections to this land.

These paintings—often measuring four by four feet and larger—are the culmination of immersive residencies, cross-country journeys, and a deep, ongoing conversation with Canadian identity.

Paintings Ten Thousand and Over: For the Discerning Collector

Original paintings in this price range are available directly through my studio, via private sale, or through select gallery partnerships. I work with individual collectors, curators, and corporate clients to place these works where they will be seen, celebrated, and preserved.

If you are a collector seeking meaningful, high-end Canadian art—whether for your personal enjoyment or as a legacy investment—I invite you to explore this tier of my work. These are not just paintings. They are cultural artifacts in the making.

Let’s Start a Conversation

If a painting has spoken to you, or if you are interested in commissioning a large-scale work that reflects your own story or connection to Canada, I welcome inquiries. Every collector’s journey is unique, and I take pride in making that experience personal, professional, and profoundly rewarding.

You can view available high-end works on my website, through my dealers across Canada, or if you are in the Victoria, Canada reach out directly for private viewings and studio visits.
