Sometimes a title can be as simple as the thought that comes into my head when I am standing in a place I love: you are beautiful.
You Are Beautiful was inspired by the awe-inspiring Maligne Canyon in Jasper. I wanted to capture the feeling of being surrounded by the canyon—the rushing water, rugged rock, towering trees, and all the layers of colour and movement that make this place so incredible.
Maligne Canyon is somewhere I have returned to many times, yet it still has the ability to make me stop and look. I think that is part of what makes certain places so special. Familiarity doesn't take away their wonder.
For me, this painting is about noticing beauty and allowing ourselves to be completely present in it.
You Are Beautiful is a 24 × 24 inch original painting on gallery-depth canvas—a piece of Jasper and a reminder of those places that continue to take our breath away.
