The Light Phases

The Story Behind Phase I – V (Light)

The Light Phases are the sister series to the Dark Phases, echoing the same cycle of the moon—but on a soft, bright backdrop that feels like early morning light or the quiet glow of dawn.

Each piece in this series was created with the same layered, mixed media process, finished in oil, and designed to mirror the natural phases of change, growth, and renewal. While the Dark Phases speak to mystery, depth, and the unseen, these Light Phases offer a sense of openness, clarity, and quiet hope. Together, they tell a fuller story—of light and dark, fullness and emptiness, presence and waiting.

For me, this series also holds personal meaning. It reflects the gentle light that started to return to my life as I found my way back to faith, to motherhood, and to the simple beauty of noticing God’s presence in the ordinary. It speaks to the softer side of those unseen rhythms—the nurturing cycles of creation, the tides of motherhood, and the steady pull toward wholeness.

The Light Phases can stand alone, be displayed as a set, or be mixed and matched with the Dark Phases for a dynamic pairing that reflects both contrast and unity. Whether you choose one or several, these pieces invite you to reflect on the beauty of every season—the light, the dark, and all the phases in between.

Part of The Firmament Collection, this mini-series ties into the larger body of work through its celestial themes and timeless palette, while offering its own quiet invitation to embrace change, beauty, and renewal.

Welcome

Hi, I'm Martina

Canadian artist, wife, and mama of two little wild ones. My work is rooted in a longing for peace. It’s in the fleeting moments of creating that I feel closest to God—like something sacred is moving through the process, gently inviting me to listen, trust, and share.

Testimonials

★★★★★

There's something truly remarkable about Martina's work; the intention behind every brushstroke is so easy to see. When you take a step back to see the full painting is where you can see the story it tells and the layers that unfold. Her art doesn't just decorate a space, it speaks to you - and that's not something you can find in a store.

The texture in Martina's paintings is so realistic and engrossing. Her choice of colours is always warm and vibrant. I love her paintings and have one on display in my main living room at home where everyone can see and enjoy it!

I can’t thank Martina enough for the incredible custom piece she painted for me. I commissioned a portrait of the moment I hit a personal best in the deadlift during a powerlifting competition. It was a moment that meant so much to me and she nailed it!

The way she captured my emotions, the intensity, and even the smallest details of my expression and posture was unbelievable. It’s more than just a drawing or painting—it’s a snapshot of one of the proudest moments in my competitive journey as an athlete.

From start to finish, Martina was professional, communicative, and made me eager to get my painting. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, and it will be hung up in my gym forever.

If you’re thinking about commissioning something meaningful, I can’t recommend Martina enough.

I have one of Martina's charcoal originals and it makes me feel hopeful for my future whenever I look at it. The Parisian scene makes me think of a warm summer night there under a red umbrella. I also have some of her abstracts and they make me feel stimulated and draw my eyes to the stunning pinks and golds. I feel free of the stresses of my life. Her artworks in my front hall way make me feel confident as I put on my shoes and start my day.
