Each piece in the Exhale Collection was created with the intention to speak of the places where we heal. Inside of ourselves, in nature, and in the simple beauty of the everyday.
"just as you are" was created to remind us to embrace ourselves exactly how we beautifully are.
I get up early and have my morning coffee just so that I can watch the sun as it rises through the tall forest pine trees outside my window. Light plays through the branches as I sip on my morning coffee and slowly prepare for the day. I never tire of these Muskoka sunrises and the fantastic light show every morning, something I tried to capture in this painting.
This charming 5x7" original acrylic painting is held in a handcrafted solid wood frame. Bring home the forest today with this original painting.
As women we struggle, we grow, we help, we overcome, and from these growth phases, we become strong.
We can be likened to a Lotus flower growing up from murky water and reaching for the sun, our beauty growing as we overcome challenges and reach for new potentials.
This 24x24 inch painting is named Lotus in honor of all of our stories. Varying brushstrokes and bold colors represent our beautiful diversity, while the symbol of strength embellishes her neck.
May this painting remind us of our sisterhood and the beauty that we hold as women of the entire world.

"Roots" was inspired by searching for fundamental qualities that help us to grow and reach contentment. She portrays a strength of character built from lessons learned from life. My desire is that she will inspire women to find their core beliefs and continue to grow in self-confidence.

It is the little things that seem to make up the best parts of our days. Moments with family, warm sunny spots, cozy times with a pet, tiny flowers. I am trying to remind myself to cherish those seemingly little things that add up to be the real and truly important things in my day-to-day life.
I created this piece with these thoughts in mind and I hope that they bring to mind your "little things" that are actually the important things.
In Canada, we learn to embrace every season, especially if you love the outdoors like my family and I do! So when the field near our home flooded and then turned to ice my boys and I strapped on our skates and embraced the free rink that old man winter had provided. This painting was inspired by that Canadian winter day with my boys.

This group of trees "speaks" to me as I drive through my little town in Muskoka, Ontario every morning. Each tree is growing slightly differently, but still supporting each other, and reminds me of a sisterhood or tribe.
Let this painting remind you of your time in nature and your "tribe".
