Canadiana Chic

I recently got to work on a really unique project when an interior designer contacted me to work on some quintessentially Canadian subjects for a very stylish lakeside cottage in Ontario.




It was so much fun thinking about characters identified with Canadian culture.  We are tied up with our natural surroundings, with hockey, the climate and seasons, the history that built our Confederation...it was really a deep pool to search for characters in!

In the end, I settled on these: The WWII Nurse, The Mountie, The Hockey Player, and the Woodsman.

I was so pleased to hear that the designer loved them so much, she decided to move them into the central area of the cottage sitting room.  I had them printed quite large and expedited them to her for framing.  So fun!

I'm pleased to offer these as prints as posters, canvas and porcelain tile too!

    1. Here's hoping, Paige! The designer let me make a lot of choices. A lot more than I thought a designer WOULD let me make!

    1. Yep, I think the white walls in the space really invited bold colours to be hung. Thanks, Jennifer!

  8. Wow, I love your work! It's so cool! The Woodsman is my favorite of the four, I think, but it's hard to choose. xoxo
