Dark Skies

2026-03-19T07:53:00.000-07:00

Dark Skies 18x24 Acrylic on Canvas Available for Purchase Please contact luciebause@gmail.com for more info:

I created a series of Dark Sky paintings for an exhibition titled “Nostalgia” in 2024. At the time I was first learning about the term “noctalgia” and contemplating this theme, I found myself driving south on Hwy 22 to the Leighton Art Centre to drop off a painting. I love that drive through the foothills and once again I passed the sign for the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory. Every time I drive by, I wonder about that place and what goes on there...? One day or night, I would like to visit this place. In the meantime, I looked it up online and learned a bit more about it. It is part of the University of Calgary where teaching and research connects with Public Education and Community Engagement. The RAO is a working science facility and is open to the public during programs or events, and is part of global efforts to protect dark skies. It is the Southern Alberta representative for the International dark Skies Association. It is located in Dark Sky Country of the foothills, forming a dark sky corridor on the western section of Calgary that includes the Weaselhead Conservation Society, Leighton Arts Centre and Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area, protecting the wilderness of the night sky. It was a bright winter day when I was there, but I took a number of photographs and decided to use my imagination to translate them to magical, star-filled, moonlit skyscapes in the protected Dark Skies Corridor for the exhibition.

Spring Skiing:

2026-03-13T13:04:00.000-07:00

Spring Skiing 20x20 Acrylic on Canvas Please contact luciebause@gmail.com for purchasing info.

I feel inspired by getting outside to do some spring downhill skiing in the mountains. I created this painting to try to capture the feeling of the cold air and snow, but the warmth of the sun on your skin. It reminds me of many spring ski days where the snow is heavy and thick as the sun starts melting it. I made this piece to feel the movement of downhill skiing on a warm spring afternoon, with long tree shadows cast on the snow. I created it as a piece for fellow skiers to enjoy in their home or office.

Forest Bathing

2026-03-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

Forest Bathing 36x48 Acrylic on Canvas Please email luciebause@gmail.com for purchasing

I have been inspired by the Japanese practice of “shinrin-yoku”, “Forest Bathing”, or spending time in the forest for wellbeing, since I first heard about it. I learned more about the practice and created this large Forest Bathing inspired painting. It reminds me of the time I spent wandering in the forest and observing the dappled light filtered through the trees. I made it to feel meditative and peaceful, alive and luminous, as I do when I connect with Nature. I created it as a feature piece for fellow Nature lover(s) to enjoy in their home or office.

Summer Views

2026-03-06T08:44:00.000-08:00

Summer Views 36x60 Acrylic on Canvas Please contact luciebause@gmail.com for purchasing

I am always inspired by summer in the mountains, o I created this large painting titled Summer Views which depicts the color and beauty in the height of the wildflower season. It reminds me of the many years I spent living in the mountains, spending warm summer days hiking in the backcountry enjoying the scenery and views. I made it to feel magical and special, sharing the joy and delight we feel when we connect to Nature. I created it as a feature piece for fellow Nature lover(s) to enjoy in their home or office.

Autumn Gold

2026-03-05T09:47:00.000-08:00

Autumn Gold 36x48 Acrylic on Canvas Please contact luciebause@gmail.com for purchasing

I was inspired by the bold colours of autumn in the mountains, so I created this depiction of the warm gold and red foliage contrasted against the blues and grays of the mountains, lake and sky. It reminds me of walking in cooler temperatures but still with warm sunshine on my skin. I made it to feel warm and cool at the same time, and to remember the fresh vibrant energy of fall. I created it as part of a larger “Changing Seasons” art collection.

Full Moon Flight

2026-02-23T12:11:00.000-08:00

Full Moon Flight 30x30 Mixed-Media on Canvas Available for Purchase Please email luciebause@gmail.com for purchases Inspired by a beautiful acrobatic sky dance by these two ravens in front of the full moon.

Golden Meadows

2026-02-19T09:07:00.000-08:00

Golden Meadows 36x60 Acrylic on Canvas

New Directions... “The wild winds called to her soul and through the ground she felt the thundering hooves of freedom.” -Shikoba

I was inspired by a herd of wild horses that I had the opportunity to spend some time observing, so I created this large scale painting of the herd joyfully moving together across the golden meadow under the setting sun. It reminds me of the long days of late summer, with rich warm tones and golden light. I made it to feel powerful and passionate. I created it with a Western themed commercial space in mind to accommodate its presence and Alberta roots. Available for purchase. Please email luciebause@gmail.com for purchases

Canada 150 Temporary Land Art Project

2017-08-03T10:43:00.001-07:00

Mineside Trail Temporary Public Art

Four local artists will be exhibiting their temporary art installations in West Canmore Park along the Mineside Trail. These nature friendly temporary art installations will be free to enjoy from August 4th to October 16, 2017. This incredible exhibition of local talent will stimulate dialogue and new ways of thinking about neighbourhoods and the public realm, inspire local artists and the community as well as cultivate future public artist and audiences.

My piece is called "Centred"

I created a large-scale mandala-inspired interactive sculpture using natural found materials from the park including pine cones, sticks and river stones. My hope is that the viewers experience is contemplative, a feeling of being embraced by the circle design and the intentional arrangement of the natural materials and being surrounded by the nature of the park.

temporary-art

Purcell Mountain Lodge
The unique opportunity to care take this amazing back country lodge came up suddenly, and fortunately, my friend Mark and I were able to clear our schedules to take it! In the week that we have been here so far, the high alpine has transformed from rocky and snow-patchy, to completely covered by fresh champagne snow...in other words, a winter wonderland!

Accessible only by helicopter, Purcell Mountain Lodge is perched at 2200 meters (7200’) atop the high alpine slopes of Bald Mountain, in the Canadian Rockies. On the remote border of Canada’s Glacier National Park, there are over 3000 acres of gently rolling alpine meadows to enjoy and explore. The Lodge offers a ski touring program in the winter, and a hiking program in summer. We have been exploring the area by snowshoes, after taking care of our daily care taking duties, of course!

The Lodge is fascinating as well as beautiful, as it is operated by hydro-electric power generated by a nearby mountain stream. This small stream provides ample electricity and crystal-clear drinking water, as well as central heating and hot showers. Remote and comfortable! This is my second visit to Purcell Mountain Lodge. The first time was March 2010, when I was able to bring my painting supplies and make a number of paintings inspired by the area, including this one...

Arctic Adventure

2011-10-02T12:00:00.000-07:00

September 12-24
I was on an amazing Arctic expedition called Heart of the Arctic offered by Adventure Canada. Our group met in Toronto and flew to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to meet our vessel, the Ocean Nova. For the next 12 days we sailed along the west coast of Greenland and across the Davis Strait to Baffin Island (Nunavut), and northern Quebec (Nunavit). During this time we explored fjords, saw glaciers and icebergs, and picked blueberries while hiking on golden tundra. We visited remote coastal villages and watched local artists engaged in stone carving, tapestry and printmaking. We learned about traditional Inuit life "on the land" and about hunting and fishing camps. We sampled traditional "country foods" such as seal, whale, caribou and muskox, and lots of arctic fish and seafood. We viewed wildlife including seabirds, humpback whales, ringed seals and polar bears. We visited Mallikjuak Inuit archeological site in Cape Dorset and saw Greenland mummies in Nuuk. We had excellent on board lectures and presentations by experts on Inuit art, archeology and culture, Arctic biology and zoology. We had discussion and much insight from local people into contemporary northern issues due to changing climate and environment. We also had inspiring artists, musicians and filmmakers on board including Andrew and Annie Qappik, Mattiusi Iyaituk, JP Hoe and John Houston doing workshops, concerts, screenings and demonstrations. We also enjoyed the company of adventure guide and photographer extraordinaire Mike Beedell.
This was an amazing adventure and incredible learning experience!
I thank the Canada Council for the Arts for supporting my "Northern Ice" project which will use this experience and information as a base to create a series of Arctic-inspired artworks. I also thank Adventure Canada for offering such a safe, enjoyable and well staffed expedition.
I look forward to sharing my photographs and updates of this creative process through my blog, while also preparing for an upcoming public exhibition of this work.

PORTALXII: Art Installation

2011-06-16T14:28:00.000-07:00

It is finished...!

What a great opportunity and experience to plan and execute the installation of my first public art project! The unveiling of PORTALXII sculpture is today Friday, June 17 at 5:30-7:30PM.
Please come by if you can...

The tradition of "place marking" is simple, universal and timeless. This meaningful global human legacy includes inscribing the landscape to signify the relationship and use of the environment. Standing Stones, employed as significant place-marking vehicles, are seen in both pre-historical and modern time frames, and their purposes range from spiritual to navigational. PORTALXII design integrates three established place-marking traditions: Stone Rings of the British Isles, Inukshuk of the Arctic region, and Standing Stones of the Japanese Zen Garden. The arrangement of the standing stones of PORTALXII is designed in a spiral shape (helix) which references patterns in nature and also invites physical interaction.

PORTALXII features unique, hand-picked, locally quarried Rundle Rock from Kamenka Quarry to specifically reference Canmore's unique community and history, while also honoring the universal human need for place-marking to communicate a sense of place and relationship to the environment. This design is an engaging testament to the relationship between Canmore residents, community and environment, and offers an experience to contemplate our place within the context of human history.

Wheeler House-Reflections: A Tribute

2011-01-26T17:56:00.000-08:00

In July, 2010, 10 artists were allowed permission to access and document the Claremont Cottage before it was scheduled for demolition. This was the summer home of A.O Wheeler, a land surveyor and co-founder of the ACC (Alpine Club of Canada) The house was remarkable, with a goldfish pond in the front yard where the domestic goldfish have remained in the warm spring fed pond for the past 90 years. My photo is a reflection taken in the pond, and if you look closely, you will see the goldfish in the trees and the bottom of the pond in the sky. The project was organized by Donna-Jo Massie and the link will take you to an article about the art exhibition in Oct 2010. Last week, the Wheeler house was destroyed. All artwork from this project will be purchased by the Wheeler House Foundation.
