Wander + Nest

Wander + Nest I love breathing new life into reclaimed wood to create one of a kind wood mosaic art and functional art pieces. Custom commissions are available.

One of the most asked questions I get about my art process is “How long did it take you to make this?”, and honestly I never know how to answer that.

To say the least, creating art from reclaimed materials is a very time consuming process. But I’ve realized that trying to keep track of the time it takes to create a piece just adds more work and kind of takes the fun out of it!

So I’ll just say, it takes hours, days and sometimes weeks but when I finish a piece, I still get that feeling of excitement when I can say to myself “Wow, I made that”! This is one of those pieces.

“Drift Away” will be available at the Homer Watson Gallery Art Fair on September 12. Find it in the Tiny Ass Art Gallery tent!

I’ll be honest, I’ve always been a little uncomfortable with a lot of colour. Give me blues, turquoise, soft neutrals and whites and I’m perfectly happy.

But lately something has shifted and I’ve been tip toeing out of that comfort zone into colours that just feel happy.

I’m still figuring out how I feel about using bright colours but maybe that’s the point. Maybe not every piece has to feel completely comfortable when I create it. Maybe it’s okay to create something that scares me a little but might just make someone else feel joy.

These three are part of that experiment and they have just landed Tiny Ass Art Gallery today! They really need to be seen in person to appreciate not only the colour but the depth and texture that has been created with reclaimed wood!

Now I need your opinion: which one would you pick?

1. The serenity of the mountain sky
2. The bright coastal blues
3. The pink and pastel sky

And be honest… am I finally getting over my fear of colour or should I stick with the neutrals?

I love sharing how my art comes to life!

I was lucky to be able to recreate this special piece after a client bought the original, that I created for Tiny Ass Art Gallery, and ended up giving it to a visiting friend.

The sunsets in Puerto Vallarta never disappoint and I always knew I would eventually create something inspired not only by the stunning sunset skies, but also the calming colours of the beach rocks that I love.

Early morning walks along the Malecón in Puerto Vallarta are graced by these peaceful stacks of rounded beach stones that appear to defy gravity.

I think it may be time to create one for myself!

I love to draw inspiration from moments I’ve captured through my own lens or my own experiences. A photograph not only becomes a memory and a feeling, but can eventually a transform into a special piece of art.

Made from reclaimed wood, these abstract landscapes were created to bring a sense of calm and Canadian summer nostalgia to all my fellow summer lovers out there! Get all the details on my website, link is in the bio.

Now Available!

“Before the Storm” and “After the Storm” is now available on my website!

These pieces were Inspired by our unpredictable, Canadian summer days at the lake, those dramatic storms that roll in after a sunny day on the beach and the peaceful, pastel skies that shine after the storm passes.

Made from reclaimed wood and hand cut on my scroll saw, they are ready for their new homes, sold separately but would be amazing as a pair!

Head to the website to make them yours. https://wanderandnest.square.site/shop/2026-summer-collection/4XYZBS62JQYUWNBL73XYSQDO

“Spring Love” started as some wavy lines, with no real direction, until I noticed what looked like a flower starting to bloom.

It’s proof that sometimes you just need to start something and see where it leads!

I’m still here!

I’ve been quiet on here for longer than usual. The last few months have been busy and between creating art for Tiny Ass Art Gallery, the gallery launch, and then spending a month in France, there hasn’t been much time for Wander + Nest. 😢

It’s been a bit of a struggle to get the creative juices flowing again but I am back in the shop with some pieces on the go and I’m finally feeling excited again!

That being said, custom orders are now open! If you’re interested in a piece for your home or a special gift, send me a DM and let’s plan your perfect piece!

Custom art, Canadian artist, reclaimed wood art, unique artwork

I’m so excited to be a part of this!  Tiny Ass Art Gallery opens tomorrow!
