ALPINE FORCES
Winter 25/26 Collection
It began with a question—what is the potential energy of a mountain? Standing among them, you can almost feel it: the weight of millions of tons of ancient rock suspended high in the sky, the silent tension between gravity and uplift. These paintings grew from that sensation. From walking ridgelines, crossing valleys, and feeling that invisible force move through you. Each piece distills the mountains’ potential energy into colour and form—the surge, the calm, the pulse of life they seem to hold. It’s an attempt to paint not just what the mountains look like, but what they do and how they feel—the power they hold to charge the spirit simply by being near them.
Framing
A custom built hardwood floater frame—hand crafted in British Columbia in your choice of White Oak or Walnut—is included to complete your artwork and your space. Each frame is lovingly built by the artist from wood chosen for its distinct grain, colour, and character. The result is a unique, warm, and modern piece that arrives ready to hang.

"My paintings are a way of holding onto the energy and perspective I find in the mountains, and sharing a piece of that feeling with others."
