Settlement Series

Twilight Settlements explores the quiet tension of the shoulder seasons—those fleeting weeks between autumn’s brilliance and winter’s severity. Through gold, white, burnt umber, and indigo, each watercolor captures the surreal beauty of late November, when warmth lingers but frost begins to settle.

The small wooden cabins, humble and weathered, evoke the resilience of pioneer ancestors who faced the harshness of early Canadian winters with little more than timber walls and determination. These landscapes embody not only the changing season but the enduring spirit of those who once called such places home.

As Bayfield prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2026, this series becomes both a tribute to the village’s deep-rooted history and a reflection of the quiet strength that has shaped this community for generations.
