Bald Eagle-Valiant
âïž Let this painting's story â touch your own
From My Personal Journal
Â
When I first set out to create Bald Eagle â Valiant, I wasnât just painting a birdâI was capturing a moment that stirred something deep in me.
I remember standing in the wilds of British Columbia, surrounded by nothing but mountains, forest, and sky, when I saw itâa bald eagle soaring effortlessly, cutting through the stillness with its wings wide and proud. It wasnât just the sight of it⊠it was the presence. The power. The grace. That single moment took root in my heart and refused to let go.
Back in my studio, I could still feel that mountain air and see the way the light kissed each feather. I started with a black canvas, because I wanted the eagle to rise out of shadowâjust like it did in real life. I layered rich earth tones across its wings, working slowly, adding detail until each feather felt alive. The head was the most delicate partâgetting the eyes right was everything. I wanted you to feel that same fierce intelligence and quiet dominance I felt when I first locked eyes with it.
The background? Pure black. Not just for drama, but to let every highlight on the eagle popâto make the bird feel like it was about to lift right off the canvas.
What I didnât expect was how emotional it became for me. With every brushstroke, I felt more connected to the idea of resilience, freedom⊠and quiet strength. Valiant became more than just a painting. It became a tribute to the wild places that ground us, the symbols that move us, and the stillness that calls us to reflect.
When you look at this piece, I hope you donât just see a majestic birdâI hope you feel something. Maybe the courage to rise above. Maybe the freedom to soar in your own way. Or maybe just a sense of calm strength when you need it most.
Because this isnât just art.
Itâs a moment. A memory. A message.

My journey as an artist
...didnât start the way one might expect!
Â
I began not with brushes and paint, but as a single mother raising two beautiful daughters after the devastating loss of my husband at a young age.
My girls were just 7 and 12 at the time, and with no choice ...but to press forward.
I spent the next 25 years waiting tables.
Though life was challenging, my love for my daughters gave me strength and the dream of becoming an artist, something I had held in my heart since I was a child, stayed with me quietly in the background.
It wasnât until I retired and met Ian, during what I now call my golden years, that I finally had the time and space to pursue that long-held dream.Â
Â
Â
In 2022...
Ian and I set out to create beautiful paintings and the finest quality limited-editions, driven by a desire to make my self-taught art accessible to all.
We want people to experience the beauty of art
...without breaking the bank.
Now, with Ian by my side, I embraced the creativity I had kept hidden for so long, sharing it in a way that allows others to bring a piece of that journey into their own homesâaffordable, yet meaningful.

Why Size Choice Matters
Choosing the right art print size is more than a design decisionâitâs an emotional one.
It shapes how your room feels, how the artwork speaks, and how connected you become to the space around you.
Here are 9 compelling reasons why selecting the right size matters:
-
Visual Harmony and Balance
Proportion is everything. A properly sized piece brings cohesion to the room and prevents visual clutter or imbalance. -
Focal Point
The right size turns your artwork into an anchorâdrawing attention, creating purpose, and giving the space direction. -
Enhanced Ambiance
Bigger pieces can add drama and presence. Smaller ones create intimacy and calm. Choose what your space is trying to say. -
Personal Expression
Size helps your art speak clearlyâwhether itâs a whisper of elegance or a bold declaration of personality. -
Proportional Alignment
Too small, and it disappears. Too large, and it dominates. The right fit respects the roomâand your eye. -
Practical Considerations
Artwork should live comfortably in your spaceâwithout blocking outlets or overwhelming the layout. -
Complementary DĂ©cor
A well-sized piece doesnât competeâit completes. It ties your furnishings, colors, and themes into a unified whole. -
Artwork Appreciation
Size affects how deeply you can engage with the details, texture, and emotion embedded in each brushstroke. -
Long-Term Satisfaction
Get it right once, and youâll enjoy it for years. No regrets. No rehangs. Just lasting satisfaction.
In short, size isnât just a measurementâitâs a mood setter, a statement, and a silent storyteller.
So whether you're unsure how a piece will look, or you just need a second opinionâŠ
