Quebec Inclusive
Québec Inclusive depicts the Québec I love: one where the French language and culture are protected and celebrated, where English-speaking communities can flourish, and where deep respect and reconciliation guide relationships with the founding Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. It envisions a province rooted in its history yet open to the future, where newcomers from diverse cultures are welcomed and embraced for their contributions. This piece reflects a Québec shaped not by division, but by shared belonging, mutual respect, and the understanding that our strength grows through inclusion.

Nothing about us without us
Description:
Large size (Rectangle 20*30)
This painting boldly explores the tension between profit and people within health systems. At its centre, a winged figure wrapped in a yellow ribbon bearing the words "Health Care Is a Human Right" and the "Nothing About Us Without Us" symbolizes advocacy, lived experience, and the power of collective voice. Surrounding elements such as sunflowers, community gatherings, protest imagery, and calls for disability justice stand in contrast to a looming figure marked by currency, representing systems that prioritize wealth over wellbeing. Layered with colour and symbolism, the work invites reflection on equity, accountability, and the fundamental right to accessible, inclusive care for all.

Lièvre Impoli / Rude Hare
Description
Mid-size (Square 20*20)
This painting explores the paradox of division and unity. A rabbit attempts to galvanize power through exclusion and fear, yet the tension it creates awakens solidarity among those who believe in inclusion, diversity, equity, equality, accessibility, and sustainability. What was meant to divide ultimately strengthens community, showing how resistance can clarify purpose and how IDEEAS grow stronger when challenged.

Survivors of TE island
Description:
Large size (Rectangle 15*40)
This painting holds space for survivors and challenges the silence that allows harm to continue. The eyes are symbolic, representing both the misuse of power and the choice to look away. Centring women, girls, boys, and all survivors, the work speaks to sexual and gender based violence, including the realities of human trafficking. It calls for accountability and shared responsibility, urging us to confront silence, question systems that protect reputation over people, and build cultures grounded in dignity, justice, and collective care.

Pain and transcendence
Description:
Large size (Rectangle 30*40)
This painting began as a mapping of pain, an effort to make the invisible visible. As it evolved, animal faces emerged through the layers, offering symbols of hope and guidance. The owl speaks to wisdom and insight in darkness, the monkey to adaptability and resilience, the bear to strength and healing, and the salamander to transformation and renewal. In many Indigenous traditions and other cultures around the world, animals are seen as spiritual guides or messengers. Their presence in this work honours that understanding and reflects a journey from suffering toward transcendence.

Mental Health on the spectrum
Description:
Two small pieces (Rectangle 5*10)
This painting was originally composed of three pieces. Somewhere in the busyness of life, the middle piece was lost and I am still searching for it. The central theme explores the spectrum of mental health, the shifts between happiness and sadness that we all experience, which can at times feel overwhelming. I wanted to express that nothing is permanent, that even the saddest day can become joyful, and that some of our happiest moments may still be touched by sadness. The three pieces are available in print only.

Where Souls Voyage in Light
Description
Mid-size (Square 20*20)
This painting is a gentle meditation on loss, love, and the unseen journeys that continue beyond our physical world. It reflects the tender hope that the souls of those we have lost travel together, caring for one another in light and peace. Flowing shapes and soft movement suggest connection without boundaries, as if love itself becomes the path they share. While rooted in grief, the work offers comfort, reminding us that our loved ones are not alone and that the bonds we create in life continue in ways we may not see but can still feel. And maybe, somewhere in that luminous realm, Mookie, Ama, and the Pope walk into a bar and the bartender says, “What is this, a setup for eternity?” reminding us that even beyond goodbye, laughter still echoes.

Marie - Mother

8.5 × 11 inches
This painting portrays a woman holding her newborn close to her heart, embodying tenderness, protection, and quiet strength. Her embrace speaks to the profound love and responsibility carried by caregivers, those who give of themselves daily, often unseen and unrecognized. The closeness between mother and child reflects both vulnerability and resilience, honouring the emotional labour, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion that sustain families and communities. This piece is a tribute to caregivers everywhere, whose care shapes the future with courage and love.

Maria - Visionary
Description:
8.5 × 11 inches
This painting positions Maria at the threshold between the present and the future. She stands grounded in her life today, connected to her family and the love that shaped her, yet her gaze reaches beyond the limits of time. Her eyes hold infinite possibility, seeing a future where women are no longer defined solely by motherhood, sacrifice, or expectation, but by voice, leadership, creativity, and choice. The work explores social awareness and advocacy, imagining a world in which women move freely in their full identities. Maria embodies both devotion and expansion, rooted in care yet unbound by it, a visionary who sees beyond the moment into a more just and awakened future.
Inclusive Holidays - Climate Impacts
Description:
Large size (Square 30*40)
This painting is a reflective piece that honours the many traditions celebrated during the winter season, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, solstice, and diverse spiritual practices that bring light into darker days. Through layered symbols, warm colours, and shared moments of gathering, the work celebrates belonging, cultural richness, and the universal human desire for connection. At the same time, it gently questions the excess often associated with the holidays, exploring how overconsumption and discarded materials contribute to waste that harms our lands and oceans through microplastics. The piece invites viewers to reimagine celebration with intention, compassion, and care for both one another and the Earth we share.

Two side of everything
Description:
This piece reflects the visible and invisible parts of our lives. A child, a woman, and the presence of sage move through the piece as symbols of innocence, protection, healing, and intergenerational strength. Bright colours and expressive faces suggest joy and resilience, yet layered imagery reveals the complexity beneath the surface. The work speaks to masking, how people can appear happy while carrying sadness inside, or seem strong while quietly struggling. It invites viewers to look beyond what is immediately seen and to hold space for the hidden stories we each carry.

Lived experience
My advocacy paintings are shaped by lived experience. Living with chronic pain and learning disabilities has made me attentive to the quiet struggles that many people carry, often without others knowing.
Creating Space for People and Connection
This awareness guides my work toward compassion, dignity, and the belief that we can create something better together, where everyone’s unique experience can be nurtured while community connections grow stronger at the same time.
Be part of a circle of care
Each painting becomes part of a shared circle of care. The more we build together, the more Portraits of Hope we can create. It is a way of contributing to something meaningful, something rooted in community, healing, and possibility.
