Commissioned Piece for a Special 10 Year Milestone: November 2020
In the summer of 2020, Willow Park Church reached out to Jaxon to see if he could commission a special painting for one of their senior pastors as a commemorative thank you for his 10 years of service with Willow Park Church for November 2020. As a hiking enthusiast, it was proposed something from the top of newly developed Black Mountain Sntsk'il'ntən Regional Park would be a fitting idea for the project. Jaxon set out to gather reference material. After a few hours getting lost in the trails, Jaxon stumbled across the most amazing view point overlooking the City of Kelowna encompassing all of Layer Cake Mountain and Mission Creek below. With weathered, old growth vegetation at the top of the mountain, the panoramic views made for an incredibly fun painting which was well received when Willow Park Church presented it on November 8th, 2020.

Coming from some of the first orchardists in the Okanagan & working with large agricultural properties in his real estate career, this piece holds a very special piece in Jaxon’s heart!

In the fall of 2017, Jaxon had the pleasure of working with a well known Kelowna family to provide 2 large centre pieces for their beautiful lake view home on Lakeshore Road.

As passionate seafarers who have sailed around the world, Jaxon also custom painted a scene from Symi, Greece. Having sailed into this famous port, Jaxon’s clients always looked for a way to bring this beautiful harbour a little closer to home. One of Jaxon’s most detailed pieces, this vibrant painting titled “Sailing into Symi”, now serves as an excellent memory & conversation starter in their dining room where friends & family gather.

Painting the Snow Ghosts of Big White: January & March 2017
As a longtime ski racer and freestyle skier Jaxon has a special connection with the mountains and loves painting the “Snow Ghosts” that are so iconic to British Columbia’s ski resorts. Well known for his artwork of Big White Ski Resort, Jaxon enjoys painting these friendly, snow laden characters as each snow ghost is unique and like the snowflakes that create them, there are no two snow ghosts are the same! During the 2017 ski season, Jaxon did 2 custom projects for clients with chalets at Big White. “Enchanted Forest” (left) is a scene from the Alpine T-Bar at the top of Big White. It was Jaxon’s largest painting every commissioned at 4x6 feet! “Above the Clouds” (right), a 3x4 foot piece of the Ridge Rocket Express Chair lift, was originally based off of a photo his client took during the last run of the day on Christmas Eve 2016. It was awarded the FCA’s painting of the month in March 2018 and to this day, it has been one of Jaxon’s all time best giclée print seller as the colours of the painting change depending on the time of day!
