Half-Face Collection
Bear
This is the first piece of the collection and was painted in 2019 when I first arrived in Canada. I had just seen my first bear here and was amazed at how gentle and fluffy it looked.

Raccoon
This is the second piece of the collection and was painted in 2020. My first raccoon sighting was in Stanley Park in Vancouver back in 2017. There were two bigger ones and a smaller one, all inquisitive and climbing over the logs with ease. They are thought of as vermin here, but I still think they’re cute!

Wolf
This is the fifth piece of the collection and was painted in 2022. I had just returned from the UK and went to a wolf sanctuary. I love how they move in their pack and look really elegant, despite being awesome hunters.

Other
Eagle Feathers
This was a piece that I made to improve on my technique of painting feathers. I also wanted to experiment with the introduction of gold detailing in paintings. I was originally going to use gold leaf, however decided to use a gold powdered pigment mixed with paint to produce a more delicate finish.
