About

Time in and with nature is important and replenishing for me, so much of my art is based on my experiences in natural areas, and the creatures therein. Other inspirations come from life at home and in the garden, walks with my dog (sadly no longer plural), and the journeys I take.

As a member of Artists for Conservation, I am committed to supporting wildlife and habitat conservation and environmental education through art. My background and work in environmental science overlaps with many of the natural areas I love to visit, photograph, paint. I aim to draw attention to the connected environmental organizations and their causes, and I am thrilled to offer a portion of proceeds from the sales of my art to environmental organizations near and dear to my heart.

While much of my work has been in-studio, I am drawn more and more to paint on site, “en plein air.” This gives me more time in a particular spot to soak in the nuances of colour, light, and shape as well as the spirit of place. My in-studio and plein air work compliment each other and working both ways I find really helps advance and hone my skills.

My paintings and photographs can be found in private collections across Canada and in the United States. I sell my own inspirations and also take on commissioned works that stir my soul, predominantly landscapes and also the occasional pet portrait.
