A Quiet Beginning

Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.

This space has been forming quietly for some time now. Not just the website itself, but the vision behind it: a place where art, story, and stillness meet. A place to pause. To breathe. To remember beauty — not as something flashy or loud, but as something steady, subtle, and worth noticing.

My name is Derryl Kostynuik. I’m an artist and storyteller based in Alberta, and this site is the heart of my creative work. Every print, every canvas, every word is created with intention — to hold space, not just fill it.

Over the coming months, I’ll be using this blog — The Still Dispatch — to share quiet reflections from the studio, stories behind the artwork, glimpses into upcoming collections, and thoughts on what it means to create in a fast-moving world.

If you're someone who finds peace in soft colors, old stories, quiet landscapes, or gentle truth, I hope this space becomes a familiar stop along your way.

Thank you for being part of this new beginning. I invite you to explore the gallery, sign up for updates, or simply linger awhile.

There’s more to come.

— Derryl
