Colourful Muskoka Chairs sitting along the shoreline of a summer lakeview. In Canada, few things are as iconic. These chairs have the ability to provide an escape from the cares of the world. When sitting quietly, we can be immersed into the natural landscape surrounding us.

A Muskoka Chair signifies:

- dipping toes in the water

Here is a poem I wrote inspired by this artwork and my time away on a holiday:
“Sitting by the water, Worries seem smaller
Waves and wind, Take it all in,

Beneath the starry skies, Hearing the crickets’ cries
In both daytime and night, The universe seems right
In our Muskoka Chair, We escape a world of care.”
