Meet the artist


Grief showed me that time is precious. Heartbreak taught me that love is something that is found within. Being an artist materialized a deep knowing that every one of us has the power to create the life that we dream of. 

Somewhere along this journey I stopped painting the world outside, and started painting the one within. A mysterious, deep and endlessly beautiful world that informs every one of my pieces. 

From my studio on the edge of Canada’s West coast I create work that challenges me to let go, and asks me and my viewers to take the time to be with the work, to experience it, and to be open to allowing it to work on you as well.
