About Me
I was born and raised in Powell River, B.C. which shaped much of who I am as an artist today. Coastal mainland British Columbia is home to scenic coastlines, dense forests and diverse wildlife, as well as a thriving arts and cultural community.
Summers spent camping, hiking, and fishing fueled my love of nature and countless back yard sightings of black bears, deer, racoons, hawks and eagles inspired my creativity early on. I quickly began to look forward to drawing and painting every chance I got and eventually realized that I wanted art to be a focal point in my life.
My first visit to Nova Scotia in 2010 sparked a love for the east coast, and a desire to become better acquainted with the charm of the Maritimes prompted a move cross-country in 2013. Since then, I have come to know and love many areas of this beautiful province. Currently, I work out of my home studio in the Annapolis Valley, where my artwork continues to be an intensely meditative and therapeutic outlet.
Profoundly impacted and inspired by life on both east and west Canadian coastlines, I aim to reflect the resiliency of their rural landscapes and the wild and untamed spirit of the animals that inhabit them.
