Artist Bio
I am a painter. Since the first time I remember picking up a brush, I have loved the push and the pull and the flow of the paint. My love began with oils in university, then acrylics, and now many years later my journey has brought me to watercolours as my chosen medium. I am inspired by the colours and forms found in nature, and I have discovered that abstract painting is my bliss. After ten years of teaching painting, colour theory, and composition as my full-time endeavor, I exited the pandemic on a different journey. I am now providing my expertise in paint, colour, and composition to a graphic design company that specializes in custom souvenir coins. This stable employment has allowed me to re-focus on my own personal artistic journey and I am currently working toward an exhibit of large abstract watercolour paintings planned for 2025.
