About Me

The contrasts and depth of color in nature ignite a profound sense of excitement within me, stirring emotions that inspire my creative process. ​ Through my art, I aim to breathe life into my subjects, fostering a connection to the natural world that surrounds us. ​ Each moment holds a unique story, and my work seeks to convey these narratives in a way that resonates deeply. ​

Growing up in northern British Columbia, I developed a deep appreciation for nature during my childhood spent outdoors. ​ At the age of 14, I began painting with acrylics, which led to an opportunity to paint plein air in Mexico during a school trip. ​ The vibrant colors and rich culture of Mexico left a lasting impression, inspiring me to return after high school to study under my mentor. ​ Over the course of five years, I refined a style characterized by expressive, dynamic brushwork that is both free and intentional, allowing me to convey my emotions through my art. ​

For the past 14 years, I have lived in the Kootenays of British Columbia, where the breathtaking landscapes and my growing connection to the environment continue to fuel my creativity. ​ My time is often spent exploring nature, hiking, and adventuring with my husband and my two wonderful children, all of which deeply influence my artistic expression. ​ Later I have had the privilege of traveling abroad, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the world beyond the Kootenays. I currently reside in Utah, where the stunning surroundings continue to inspire my work and deepen my connection to the natural world.
