Behold! The Canadian Moose-Goose. This is the first piece in a small collection: Hinterland Who What Now? Very excited about this work, and what’s coming next. #originalart #acrylicpainting #animalfusion #creature #fantasy #canadianartist

this is a nerve wracking for me to share! I want to be more authentic in my creative practice… which means more whimsical creatures & places. If you’d like to see more of this type of work, please let me know, seriously. #creatures #bird #fantasy #orginalart

Canadian winter content! Rivers in the mountains get these dreamy snow pillows along the edges. If it wasn’t cold, wet, and dangerous? I could imagine taking a wonderful nap here. #canada #landscape #snow #dreamy #winter Part of ongoing series.

A fuzzy jumping spider! Bataes sp. This piece sold surprisingly fast - so more spiders are on the way, apparently! #jumpingspider #spiderart #painting #canadianartist

shingleback skink on quilted maple. I really like these guys. Cute face on em’

a single cat post per month on an art account is okay? Right? Here’s a multi-clip-cut of my two cats using the wheel together. Orange was okay after his tumble and got back on the wheel immediately. #cats #orangecat #devonrex #catwheel #sillycats #catsplaying

a throw back on this fine Saturday because I’ve been in progress on a lot of things. This was one of my favourite paintings from 2024! Lilypads on a pond near a log processing facility. #watercolour #lilypads #nature #painting #art #yegartist
