abstract art - a unique creative expression
Biography
A Creative Trajectory
With a foundation in design, communications, and the technical nuances of colour, I bring a rich blend of professional experience and formal art education to my life as a visual artist and art coach. Growing up on a dairy farm in Ontario instilled in me a deep work ethic, resilience, and a profound connection to nature - elements that continue to shape my creative voice.
My artistic journey began with representational drawing and painting, gradually evolving into intuitive, process-driven abstraction. Each shift has been guided by life’s unfolding and a continual desire to explore new territory. My practice is fueled by curiosity, sensitivity, and a commitment to growth - constantly learning, experimenting, and refining techniques that feel true to me.
In recent years, I’ve expanded my practice to include mentoring and teaching, helping other artists uncover their own authentic expression through focused guidance and creative support.
My work is held in private collections across Canada, the US, the UK, Scotland, Holland, Germany, and Australia, and has received multiple awards. You’re welcome to explore my paintings at upcoming exhibits, book a studio visit, or request a virtual viewing—just email me at:
My experience of living & creating art in the Okanagan has directly influenced my creative process.
