I've always been creative, and have tried many different types of art over the years. When we moved to Calgary in 2015 to be closer to family, I left the financial industry behind and was finally able to revisit my love for the arts.
I'm not drawn to one subject matter, I’ll simple paint what inspires me at that time. It’s a bit of a motto - have a plan and then let it go.
Though I haven’t studied art formally I’ve taken many classes and workshops and it is my desire to be an ever developing, always learning new techniques.
It is my hope that you will enjoy the paintings for years to come, just as much as I enjoyed creating them.

“Precision has always been a fascination. My works are created entirely from memory, which is unfortunate, because my memory of what a human body looks like is apparently a circle on top with five lines coming out of it.
Through my process I develop original interpretations of the world around me. By simplifying and reducing, I can showcase the essential truth of any subject — that at its core, everything can be expressed in five lines or fewer. My loop-da-loops demonstrate a mastery of the continuous curve. My snowflakes contain multitudes.
So, as you can no doubt tell, I am an artist. Maybe? Probably... Yes, probably.”
