Inspired by the art of classical antiquity and the French Romantic painter Delacroix, I created this work entitled, "The True North, Strong and Free".  It is an allegory, depicting Canada as a young, beautiful and stoic figure standing proudly holding the flag of this great country. 
 
O Canada! 
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command. 
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
