Kawartha Lakes, Canada
2022

I love the idea of moving forward into the unknown. The excitement, the fear, the adrenaline, the anticipation - that’s all that makes life exciting. If we already know how the movie ends, we’re far less invested in the rest of the plot, which is arguably the most exciting part. This image represents that idea. The ability to find calmness in the unknown, adjust your direction, and simply continue to paddle forward.

ABOUT THE EDITIONS

Each piece is available in limited runs and produced to museum-grade standards. As editions sell, prices may increase. The current listed price reflects early availability.

  • Studio Stamped Editions
    These unsigned prints bear a discreet embossed stamp of authenticity from the artist’s studio. A perfect starting point for new collectors or those looking to gift fine art with provenance.

  • Signed Limited Editions
    Individually numbered, hand-signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Created in extremely limited quantities, these editions are intended for seasoned collectors and investors alike.

PRINTING

Printed and framed locally in Canada, each piece is produced on artist-grade, acid-free, 100% cotton, 310gsm photo paper using archival pigment inks for lasting colour fidelity and depth.

FRAMING OPTIONS

To preserve the quality of your artwork and minimise risk in transit, we recommend ordering unframed if you are located outside Toronto. Your local framer will be able to mount your piece to your preferences.

For collectors in the Greater Toronto Area, we offer custom framing as an add-on. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang in a 1.25" handcrafted frame with a 2" matte border and museum-quality Artglass (70% UV protection, anti-reflective).

Frame colours: black, white, or natural wood
Artist’s recommendation for this series: white
