Bio
I am an artist and a teacher. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember and I love it! I live in the beautiful countryside just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. I draw my artistic inpsiration from a variety of places, but much of it comes from my many camping and hiking trips as well as the gorgeous landscapes that surround me. I come from a long line of artistic people and am proud to carry on this tradition.
I work with various different mediums, such as: pencil, pastels, conte, oil paints, acrylic paints, and watercolor paints. I do my drawings on high quality paper and each are sprayed with fixative to prevent smudging and fading. My acrylic and oil paintings are done on stretched canvas and my watercolors on watercolor paper. A lot of my past work has been done off of pictures that others have given me: landcapes, pets, people, etc. I also have some original work and am always working on various paintings and drawings.
I am a firm believer that within every person lives an artist and that everybody is capable of creating inspired artworks. For myself art is a form of meditation and I find it to be extremely therapeutic and calming. Therefore, when I'm not doing commissions or creating original works of art I'm teaching art classes and Paint Parties, helping my students find their inner artist.
