Maligne Canyon is one of those places I have returned to again and again. Each visit is a little different, but the feeling of being there has always stayed with me.
Each Time We Meet was inspired by the area near the first bridge at Maligne Canyon in Jasper National Park, before the devastating 2024 wildfire changed this familiar landscape. I wanted to capture the rushing water moving through the pale canyon rock, the towering evergreens, and all those little flashes of colour and life along the forest floor.
This painting has taken on a different meaning for me since the fire. What began as a painting of a place I loved visiting has also become a record of how I remember it—a landscape preserved in paint even as Jasper continues to change, recover, and grow.
The title Each Time We Meet feels even more fitting now. We return to places we love, but they are never exactly the same—and neither are we.
For me, this painting is about Jasper, memory, change, and the connection we build with the places we return to throughout our lives.
