The exhibition marks a significant milestone in my careerโ€”celebrating 25 years of representation with the gallery.

O'Hara: Kingdom of Light (37" x 72") will serve as the signature painting of the exhibition, reflecting not only my enduring connection to the Canadian Rockies but also the countless painting journeys that have taken me across the mountains, coastlines, and northern wilderness of Canada.

It is a landscape of extraordinary beauty, where unforgettable experiences and personal memories become intertwined with the land itself. Drawing upon several visits to this remarkable place, I sought to create more than a depiction of a mountain landscape. This painting is a tribute to the majesty, mystery, and timeless spirit of the Canadian Rockies, and a reflection on the importance of preserving these wild places for future generations.
With every major painting, I challenge myself to venture beyond familiar solutions and established formulas. I often tell my students that formula painting rarely leads to meaningful work. The most rewarding paintings emerge from a willingness to explore deeplyโ€”to trust intuition, visual memory, and lived experience. They require patience, uncertainty, and a commitment to discovery that can unfold over weeks or even months.
Much of this painting was developed from memories gathered during long days spent hiking and painting in the mountains. As the work evolved, I found myself reaching beyond the physical landscape and into the emotional experience of being thereโ€”the sense of awe, solitude, light, and wonder that draws us back to these places again and again.
