These Paintings Have Been Collected: Recently Sold Works

When it comes to the business of selling art, collectors acquire my paintings in many different ways. Some discover my work through galleries that represent me, while others purchase directly through my website. However they find their way to the work, it is always rewarding to see paintings leave the studio and begin a new life in a collector’s home.

While I am best known for painting Canadiana and exploring the Canadian consciousness, the subject matter within my work is remarkably diverse. From people in the landscape to iconic objects and cultural symbols, my paintings examine the many layers of Canadian identity and experience.

 

A maple leaf, a hockey mask, a goalie, a skier, a tower of balanced rocks on a beach, or a polar bear searching for a new home. Each painting becomes a visual story drawn from my travels, observations, memories, and experiences across Canada. The subject might be a well-photographed location in the Alberta Rockies or the colourful homes of Newfoundland. It might be a plaid shirt hanging on a wall, a bottle of beer alongside a bag of Hawkins Cheezies, or a quiet stretch of highway disappearing into the horizon. Together, these subjects create a journey through a Canada that is familiar, personal, and distinctly our own.

When it comes to which paintings sell quickly and which remain in the studio a little longer, there is rarely a predictable pattern. Art collecting is deeply personal. A painting resonates with a collector because it connects to a memory, a place, a feeling, or a story that is meaningful to them. What speaks profoundly to one person may be overlooked by another, and that is part of what makes collecting art so fascinating.
