Hey There

Welcome to My Creative World

 

I’m a multidisciplinary storyteller and artist, blending fiction and truth through writing, illustration, painting, and handmade design. My work spans climate fiction, children’s literature, original watercolour and acrylic paintings, and printed or one-of-a-kind greeting cards.

 

I’m currently finishing my debut novel and a collection of illustrated children’s books, projects years in the making. Here, you’ll find art, stories, and creations designed to spark joy and imagination.

 

My Journey

 

I finish things, just not all at once.

 

I create while living with Multiple Sclerosis. It shapes the way I work. My energy and focus come in bursts, but it does not define me. I am building a body of work across a variety of mediums that reflects the world we live in and the places I have come from. You will find traces of my past and personality in every painting I have made, every story I have told, and every handmade creation I pursued simply to see if I could.

 

Right now, I create for the pleasure of it. Some projects are complete, others are still in progress, but all are connected by a thread of care, imagination, and meaning.

 

I work in layers. I circle back. When the time is right, things get finished.

 

Join me on my journey. I would be delighted to have you along for the ride.

Artists Bio

I am a Canadian artist and author, inspired by the richness and beauty of this country. My work reflects the northern lights, wildlife, horses, barns, and the seasonal landscapes that make Canada unique. I strive to capture vibrant colour, atmospheric light, and an honest, painterly style in everything I create.

 

Over the past 30 years, I have explored a wide range of creative paths, from mixed media and acrylics to watercolours and storytelling. This journey has given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for the world around me.

 

My collections include wildlife art, equestrian paintings, florals, seasonal cards, and larger works that explore the changing Canadian landscape. I am also the author of The Coldwater Chronicles climate trilogy and have developed many projects for print and digital media.

 

Every piece I create is part of my story, a reflection of my connection to nature, animals, and the life I see around me.
