This exhibit came together with a simple realization: how many people feel a sense of joy when they pass the bright pink rhododendron on 2nd Avenue. I thought I was the only one that noticed it!
That realization helped me understand that there must be so many of these little places that connect us. I was already planning to do an exhibit on a different topic, and I casually pitched the idea to Nina.
What if the two of us worked in our different mediums to capture the spaces of Squamish that make us feel at home?
While “triggers” are often defined as stimuli that evoke distress or negative memories, “glimmers” are their gentle opposites- brief moments or sights that bring calm, joy, or connection.
In Glimmers of Home, we set out to highlight the everyday places and fleeting moments that ground us, hoping others recognize something of their own story in ours.

Glimmers of Home is a quiet celebration of the everyday — a shared study of fleeting, familiar moments that make a place feel like home.
The creative spark for this series came from a mutual curiosity between Sarah and me: how two artists, working in very different mediums, might observe and interpret the same surroundings.
Rooted in Squamish, our work reflects a practice of paying attention — to light, texture, colour, and form — and finding beauty in the often overlooked.
Whether it’s the soft bloom of a spring flower or the way the mountains catch the evening light, these pieces are our way of pausing and honouring those passing moments that ground us.
