This painting was inspired by Alberta MLA Janis Irwin and the many doorsteps that have welcomed her while connecting with Albertans across our communities. Painted from her perspective, it captures a quiet but meaningful moment before a conversation begins.
The vibrant rainbow welcome mat symbolizes more than an invitation inside. It speaks to acceptance, inclusion, and the hope that everyone can find a place where they are seen, valued, and free to be themselves.
As I painted this piece, I kept returning to a simple thought: belonging isn’t just about where we live—it’s about how we make one another feel. Sometimes it begins with a knock on the door, a warm greeting, and the willingness to listen.
Here, I Belong is a celebration of community, connection, and the spaces where we are welcomed exactly as we are.
