I debated naming this work the “Sand Lake Pines" This piece celebrates the rugged beauty of Sand Lake on the Rideau Canal. The iconic island, with its weathered pines clinging to ancient rock, is a timeless representation of the natural history and resilience of this region. For over 40 years, this island has been the heart of my family's summers on the canal, a place for swimming, fishing, and soaking in the sun. The enduring tension between the steadfast trees and the elements inspires my sketches and paintings. I hope this work captures the spirit of strength and harmony that defines this cherished landscape.

The title, Cumulus, draws inspiration from the fleeting beauty of clouds, symbolizing spontaneity, change, and connection. These works encourage reflection on our relationship with the environment and celebrate the wonder of nature—from its grand spectacles to its subtle nuances. Through this exhibition, I hope to evoke emotions and inspire appreciation for the landscapes that shape our experiences.
