I am an emerging artist who moved to Nanaimo, BC, from Kingston, Ontario. I have always loved to paint and create with bold colours. Painting with lots of colour is energizing to me. Nature, people, my surroundings, other artists—the list could go on—inspire me, giving me endless colour choices and creative ideas for my work.

As a self-taught artist, I have not received any formal training. Although I have attended a few workshops, most of my skills come from my own whimsical creativity. I primarily use acrylics in my artwork, but I have also experimented with watercolor pencils and oil paints. I can’t quite explain it, but I am consistently drawn back to working with acrylics. Most of my pieces have been transformed into digital images, which I sell as art cards. If you’re interested in any of my current works, please feel free to reach out to me.

 

Cheers and thank you for viewing my site

 

Vancouver Island Artist with bright, colourful, and energetic art that is creative and happy.
