Capturing memories of homes, gardens, AND THE COASTAL LANDSCAPE
HAND-CRAFTED PAINTINGS OF PLACES THAT TELL OUR STORIES
BY NOVA SCOTIA ARTIST MICHELLE DARWIN
Hello, and welcome. It’s wonderful to see you.
Feel accompanied
There is great healing, connection, and strength that comes by sharing the wisdom we have gained through our experiences. In addition to sharing new work as it is created, and the stories behind the paintings, I also share valuable learnings and tools so that you can feel inspired, motivated, and accompanied as you pursue your creative work – in whatever form it may take.
Let’s Get acquainted
I am a painter & storyteller who finds deep joy and connection in living seasonally and working with my hands. I love getting out to explore and paint the coastal landscape, towns, and homes around where I live on Nova Scotia’s South Shore. Learn more about my story and what painting projects I am currently working on.
THE
NEW HORIZONS
COLLECTION
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
The New Horizons Collection is a collection of twenty-two original paintings. They capture the beauty and variety of the light and weather of the coastal landscape I now call home. While many are of water and sky, I have also included some of the houses that I pass on my daily walks to the ocean. All paintings in this collection are from around the little village of Broad Cove, where I live next to the Atlantic Ocean on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Paintings in this collection are gouache on watercolour paper. They are signed within the painting in either the lower left or right hand side. Individual listings contain details specific to each piece.
Paintings in this collection were released in February & March 2024.
NEXT COLLECTION coming in SEPTEMBER.

Custom paintings
I love to create Painted Stories of the homes, gardens, and meaningful places. These spaces are filled with light, sound, weather… and memories of moments shared and people loved. Experiencing them recreated in a painting not only captures a moment in time, it brings back a flood of associated feelings. Making art about these personal spaces and places is deeply fulfilling – both in the act of creating and in the feelings the finished art can bring back. You can commission your very own Painted Story – for yourself or as a meaningful gift.

PAINTING STUDIES
A great way to collect original art affordably
Feel the life and energy they capture! Studies show the thought process of the artist and have an intimacy and immediacy to them that is unique. Each piece is matted and ready-to-frame.
Wouldn’t you love a little one-of-a-kind gem?
