I have spent most of my life outdoors, camping and travelling, and I have fallen in love with the breathtaking beauty that our earth can create. I am inspired by my surroundings. It was through all my travelling and wondering that I became fascinated with colours, and had a passion to recreate the beauty beyond a photograph. To make it come alive. I choose to focus my works around colourful and peaceful landscapes, sometimes including animals and their relationships with their environment. The spirit and magic of Christmas also brings me joy that I use to create my art pieces. I also enjoy creating with folk art. It is a fun way to recreate nostalgic memories.

I feel especially passionate about sharing my love for art by teaching. I have had the honour of helping others of all ages develop their skills for more than 10 years. I draw on my experience working as a camp counsellor, yoga and art therapist, running art programs and creating an art school. I have learned from so many students as an artist. I love watching how they blend unique colours to bring shape to life. My favourite part of teaching is watching artists push through the difficult stages of their painting and be proud of their finished art pieces.

I believe everyone has an artist within, it's about discovering their natural style. I am grateful for my gift to recreate the heart and feeling of natural scenes into my work. I enjoy exploring both the depth, shades, and many layers of colour and light that I see around me. Water, sunsets, and even a subject's character provide these layers of colour, light, and warmth that fascinate me. Come and enjoy your journey as an artist and discover what brings your strengths to a canvas.
