Inspired by Blue Rodeo’s Lost Together, this piece is a visual exploration of what a couple’s love story might look like from the vantage point of the cosmos. The song lyrics that reference the stars inspired the cosmic night-sky colour palette that is used to communicate a topographic map of the Halton region that shows the landmark locations where the couple has lived together as glimmering starbursts.
This piece visually mirrors the skies above and the land below, as if to suggest this couple’s love story was always fated and that everything is connected. The sky. The Earth. The encounters we have. The overlapping of our stories, a celebration of intention and choice over coincidence.
The song lyrics “I want all the world to know that your love’s all I need” were called out for this commissioned anniversary-gift in alignment with the beautiful public proclamation that is expressed through marriage. This couple continues to choose each other, after 32 years of sharing a life together.

This painting was commissioned by a client for a residence in Burlington. As with all pieces, it was hand-stretched by the artist in her studio on 1.5" gallery profile stretcher bars and comes ready to hang with mounting hardware, a certificate of authenticity, and a printed description. Commissions are unique and specific to each client: dimensions are agreed on between client and artist and each original painting is the result of a private interview and conversation between the client and artist.
