Medium: Oil

Makayla Talsma is a rising artist based in the Edmonton area, recognized for her expressive portraits and evocative oil landscapes. Working on wood panels and canvas, her pieces blend the quiet grandeur of northwestern European landscapes with the rich traditions of Canadian painting.

Largely self-taught, Makayla has spent years refining her technique in oils while drawing on a wide range of influences—from the detail and depth of Renaissance art to the emotional resonance of contemporary realism. Her work also reflects a broad appreciation for visual media, including acrylic, drawing, and digital art.

Each piece invites the viewer into a moment of stillness, offering compassion, introspection, and a sense of connection to the land and one another. Select works are available as prints in various sizes.
