Originally from Blenheim, a small farming community in Southwestern Ontario, I grew up loving art, writing and photography. After completing my BA English from University of Western Ontario, I worked in Japan and Germany before settling down in Calgary. Calgary has been my home, and where I raised my family, for over 25 years.
I feel very fortunate that I had a career which I loved for over 20 years. But in 2017 life pivoted ….and it gave me a chance to really focus on my passion. I started on a journey back to my true love – art. In my continuous desire to learn and grow, I completed my Visual Design Certificate from University of Calgary, Continuing Education in 2021. Additionally, I was accepted as an “Active Member” of the Federation of Canadian Artists in 2022.
Utilizing photos I take of my travels, I love creating realist acrylic paintings that are vibrant and bold. From landscapes and mountain scenes to animal portraits and vintage cars, I want to produce artistic images that resonant with my clients. Open to commissions, I aspire to provide beautiful art pieces that clients will enjoy in their homes for many years.
