Every woman deserves a portrait she loves.

Serendipity, Kindness + Portraits of Resilience

August 6, 2026

Karen told me of an encounter she’d had, with a woman from Calgary, a few years prior. They’d met randomly at a US airport when the flight they were both on had been cancelled. I believe they happened to be next to each other in the coffee lineup and a conversation was struck. Karen was moved by both the woman’s, Katey’s, presence + energy, and also by her upbeat demeanour despite the devastating circumstances she and her young family were facing: her 40ish year old husband had been diagnosed with ALS, and it was progressing quickly.

PART VI: Worthy Imposters with Heather

March 14, 2026

Among some of my favourite portraits of his are: Ernest Hemingway, Georgia O’Keeffe, Martin Luther King Jr., Pablo Picasso, Nelson Mandela, and Pablo Casals. However, when choosing which to draw inspiration from + to honour, I was most drawn to the portrait he made of Sir Winston Churchill, titled: ‘The Roaring Lion’.

PART V: Memento Mori + New Mexico

February 20, 2026

“When I got to New Mexico, that was mine. As soon as I saw it, that was my country. I’d never seen anything like it before, but it fitted to me exactly. It’s something that’s in the air, it’s just different. The sky is different, the stars are different, the wind is different.”

PART IV: Worthy Imposters with Abby

January 21, 2026

With a fervent desire to honour Abby; my first idea was to incorporate Frida Khalo, as we have both long been intrigued by the enigmatic and socially-minded artist. With that, I started daydreaming and wondered if we might also be able to incorporate Abby’s Métis lineage, which I felt so seamlessly tied into everything I admire about both Abby AND Frida.

From 35,000 Feet

January 10, 2026

I am reminded of Joni Mitchell’s song ‘Both Sides Now’… to me, this song is a poetic reminder that we can hold both idealism and beauty in our hearts + heads, while also being grounded that life isn’t always easy. Of course: for there to be light, there must also be shadow, and vice versa.
