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.

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.

NEW PAINTINGS BEING ADDED WEEKLY ON WEDNESDAYS UNTIL APRIL.

I love to create Painted Stories of the homes, gardens, and the natural landscape around me. These spaces are filled with rich experiences of 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.
