Tide & Stone
Painted after visiting the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. The cliffs, sculpted by the relentless tides of the Bay of Fundy, left traces that stayed with her: the marks of water shaping stone, over and over again.

About the artist
Jarvis's work begins in the forests and ravines she walks each day. Before painting she sits in meditation; from that stillness, the brushwork emerges as a distilled language of ink and gesture.
Each painting is signed with a Hanko stamp in Japanese hiragana meaning silence, stillness and inner peace: her wish for the work, the viewer and the world.
Featured works
Three Within
Winter quiet. A walk through the ravines. No phone, no noise, nowhere to be. Just the breath, the trees and the space within.
