Bring the feeling of being beneath the surface into your space, where everything slows down and the water holds quiet movement and anticipation.
This piece captures that moment where life exists just out of sight—where pike move through the grass, perch gather, and a single lure can change everything. The layered textures and flowing forms create a sense of depth and rhythm, bringing the presence of water and wild fish into your home in a way that feels both calm and alive.
If you’ve ever spent time on the water, or carry memories of someone who taught you to love it, this piece will feel familiar.
This painting grew from memories of fishing with my dad and from the stories he used to tell about fishing with his own dad in Misery Bay. He always talked about using red and white Daredevil spoons for northern pike and how those lures were the ones that got the strike. I never got to fish with my grandfather, and now that my dad has passed, those stories mean even more. Painting this northern pike with the baby pike, the perch, and the Daredevil spoon became a way to hold onto those moments.
I added small details like the worn marks and scraped paint on the spoon and built the background to reflect the underwater grass where pike wait and watch. That process pushed me to experiment with new ways of showing movement and depth beneath the surface.
This artwork is for those who want their home or cabin to feel like a reflection of the moments that shaped them. It brings color, story, and a quiet connection to the water into your space—a reminder of where you’ve been and the people who made those memories matter.
