Painting of the Month- December 2021

Forest Watching 12”x12” Retail Value $485

In the spirit of gift-giving, I will be hosting a raffle for the painting pictured above, which is the first from my new series, Forest Watching.

All the proceeds are being donated to Kenhte:ke Seed Sanctuary and Learning Centre in Tyendinaga. Their mission is to cultivate a sacred space to grow, preserve, and protect heirloom and Indigenous seeds in accordance with Rotinonhsyon:ni cosmology, to ensure the availability of healthy, viable seeds for our collective future generations.

Tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25 and can be purchased in person at Melt Studio and Gallery or online.

“In this painting I challenge the viewer to join in the scene, to take a seat by the bonfire under the night’s sky. To watch and protect the forest. To celebrate its glory and recognize and understand its vulnerabilities. Only then will the forest survive.”
