I try to portray the beauty that exists in the world. Art is my release, my sanctuary and my solace.
I grew up on the prairies of Alberta but always felt a particular pull towards the mountains, ocean and warmer weather so after raising a set of identical twin boys and pursuing a career in Criminology, I moved to BC in 2009 and felt inspired. I realized my one true regret in life was putting my art aside for so long, so with the encouragement of my family, I took the initiative and began devoting myself to Art full time.
After leaving such a stressful career, I felt it was necessary to re-evaluate what I focused on, what I attracted into my life and if my creativity can inspire and bring happiness to others then I feel my life has meaning. Although I was still considered an emerging artist in my career, I achieved active status with the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) and been fortunate enough to have my artwork collected internationally, highlighted in numerous juried exhibitions, local art shows and galleries.
As a result of being heavily inspired by nature, wildlife and my surroundings, I decided to give back by using my talent to raise money for animal welfare. I'm proud to be a member of Etsy for animals, where a portion of my sales goes towards helping the very subjects I'm inspired by. I may not be able to change the world with my art, but I know in my heart I've tried to make a difference.
I'm always happy to answer questions about my artwork, custom framing and pride myself on responding to inquiries quickly to provide the best possible customer service. I also enjoy engaging with my fans on Instagram and Facebook so feel free to say hello!
