Digital photograph, oil paint, and ink. Edition 1/1

In the “Search for Solace” series, I photographed local Manitoba landscapes in my search for solace after a personal loss. I altered black and white photographs by painting with oil paints and drawing with ink that reflected my feelings of grief. The images were influenced by the Symbolist Movement in their ideas to show an inner mood. In my grieving journey, unexpected emotions arose that triggered memories from childhood, both unpleasant and good.
