A look at some of my past work.
"Common Ground" - Coffee Painting Series
Life's Evening Sun
A portrait of Raymond Daae
12x16" Canvas - Columbian Blend - Road Coffee Co.
“When I think of Grandpa, the first thing that comes to mind is cultivating with him in his Steiger tractor. As a 9 year old boy riding on the pail in the corner of the cab,
I watched everything he was doing. That’s probably where he taught me the song ‘Bushel and a Peck’.
He’d always take the time to stop, shut it down - so we could enjoy what Grandma had packed in his Stanley lunch kit. Sitting in the shade by the tires, the food carefully wrapped in wax paper (except of course the banana) - and Grandpa sipping his coffee. I could never figure out how he could drink hot coffee on +30 day... but now I do the very same thing.
We’d laugh about it, but I love how much time he took to visit - with anyone. It didn’t matter how much work needed to be done. He just cared about people so much.
I was there as he prayed for, and helped so many people along the way. With his big heart for others, he still made me feel like I was really special. I guess I never stopped watching everything he was doing.”

Cake Kilometers
A portrait of Verna Solie Daae
12x16" Canvas - 100% Columbian Blend - Tim Hortons
“I expect Ray will invite them in.”
I can picture her peering out the window at the farm. The unsung hero behind the famous hospitality of the Ray Daae family. One day she and her grandson put their heads together and concluded that over the years, she’d probably made enough chocolate cake to span over 1.3 km - if you placed the pans end to end.
Women like her are the real architects of society.
“We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.” - Kavita Ramdas
