Eagle Artwork


 A Selection of Eagle Artwork



Fancy Eagles - 2018

I was inspired by the fancy grass dancers that you can see at pow wows, and painted colourful streamers on the end of two of my Ojibwe eagles' wingtips. I always enjoy watching the dancers as they seem so free.

Acrylic on 9 x 12" stretched canvas, the image continues on all sides.

Seven Eagles - 2018


This is the biggest painting I've created so far, and one of my most meaningful. It measures 4 by 6 feet and is on a piece of unstretched canvas as I wanted to give a feeling it was painted on hide.

Seven eagles soar into the sky, higher and higher towards the sun. Each one is in a stage of immaturity and the upper ones still have a hint of brown in their head feathers as it takes about four years for an eagle to reach adulthood. This represents the journey that each of us takes towards our own adulthood and working towards a goal, such as graduating from school or obtaining achievements at work. The number seven represents the seven grandfather teachings as well as having a personal significance since there were seven people in my family.

The top has a piece of wood that a beaver carved which was found at the creekside near my home, and the painting hangs from a piece of sisal cord to keep a natural look.

Acrylic on 4 x 6 foot canvas.

Soaring Eagle - 2009


An Ojibwe or Woodlands style bald eagle soars through the sky, surveying his territory of mountains. Overhead, a bright yellow sun radiates energy. This is a unique size of painting that could create some real impact on a skinny section of wall.

Acrylic on 6 x 36" stretched canvas.
All materials used are archival.

Night Eagle - 2008

A brief return to my cubist roots, with a Woodlands twist. An eagle flies through the night, a shattered image of sunsets, sunrises, and nights, a reminder of the cycle of life we all face. Within his body is another night sky, complete with the northern lights and a glowing moon.

Acrylic on 9 x 12" canvaspanel.
Framed with all archival materials.

Bird Artwork

 A Selection of Bird Themed Artwork


Loon - 2021

A loon spirit against a mix of firey reds. Graceful lines cross the loon's back and are decorated with the white dots that are visible on the Common Loon.

Acrylic 12 x 12" stretched canvas. Unframed but is wired on the back for easy hanging.

Gold Crane - 2006

A gold crane lifts off from the ground amidst a pine forest. I painted this based on a Sandhill Crane I saw when I was child out berry-picking. I got tired of picking blueberries under the relentless sun (maybe not the best decision considering there could have been black bears around) and wandered into the next clearing and startled a crane.

They flew up gracefully and effortlessly, calling out "Karoo, karoo" as he went.

The crane was long gone, but those berries were delicious with some milk and sugar, and I had a good memory.

Acrylic on 9 x 12" canvaspaper. Framed using archival materials.

Purple Martin - 2005

Tree Swallow - 2005

Tree Swallows nested in a nest box outside of our window. It's a fond memory watching those birds come and go during the early summer with insects to feed their young. Here, a swallow is captured in mid-flight. Silver dots his wings and tail feathers.

Acrylic on 9 x 12" canvaspaper. Framed in a reddish-brown wood frame to match Purple Martin. All materials used are archival.

Blue Swallow - 2008

Another style swallow similar to the first two, but this one has a more abstract background suggestive of the speed these amazing little birds fly with. I had some fun creating the background using a mix of metallic paint and wood stain.

Acrylic, metallic paint, and antique stain on 8 x 10" canvaspaper. Painting is framed using archival materials.

I also enjoy creating commissions for people who want something made specifically. I really love painting birds and will work with you to create a unique piece. The Woodlands or Ojibwe style is slightly abstract and I enjoy that freedom.
