Standing on the Winspear stage is a powerful experience. It is a place of anticipation, vulnerability, and connection where music fills the air and unites audience and performer. In On Stage at the Winspear (30x40 inches), I wanted to capture that perspective—the view outward, into a space that belongs not just to the artist but to the entire community.
The Winspear is one of Edmonton’s most treasured cultural landmarks, a gathering place where sound becomes memory and presence becomes art. My brushwork and colour choices reflect the rhythm of music itself—layered, dynamic, and alive—while the composition emphasizes the grandeur and intimacy of the space.
This painting is both a tribute to the Winspear and an exploration of what it means to share in the arts. It speaks to the quiet moments before the performance begins, the energy that builds as music resonates, and the way art creates lasting connections across time and place.
