Morning Briefing 24 x 24

Created as a companion to Morning Ritual, Morning Briefing is inspired by the early mornings spent training as a ski instructor at Lake Louise, when the mountain is at its quietest and the day is just beginning. Looking out across the ski hill, the first light of sunrise illuminates the Victoria Glacier and Lake Louise below, transforming the familiar landscape with warm alpine light.
Created on a 24 × 24 inch diamond-shaped panel, the unique orientation draws the eye through the scene while offering a fresh perspective on one of the Canadian Rockies' most iconic views. Intricate wood burning paired with bold acrylic gouache captures the contrast between the cool winter landscape and the soft glow of the morning sun.
Inspired by the calm before the lifts fill and the slopes come alive, Morning Briefing celebrates those peaceful moments that are often experienced only by those already on the mountain—the quiet anticipation of a new day, before the rhythm of the ski hill begins.
