Inspiration and Style

Living in rural Alberta, surrounded by open land and abundant wildlife, deeply influences my work. Daily encounters with animals, from quiet moments of stillness to unexpected glimpses in nature, invite me to slow down, observe, and translate those experiences into expressive visual stories.

​

Ideas often arrive intuitively, in an animal form, a colour palette, or a sudden emotion that asks to be explored. From there, each painting unfolds organically, guided by feeling, curiosity, and presence.

Through layered colour, fluid movement, and expressive mark-making, each piece evolves naturally, allowing the animal’s presence to emerge gradually. By blending abstraction and realism and leaving space for the background to breathe, my work reflects the interconnectedness between animals, humans, and the natural world, inviting viewers to pause, feel, and form their own connection.

Over the past few years, my work has grown into a way of expressing what I feel, not just what I see. Each painting is about capturing emotion, presence, and connection, giving anyone who sees it a moment to pause, reflect, and feel something real.

I am honoured to have my work featured in juried exhibitions, curated public art walks across Alberta, private collections throughout Canada and internationally, and in Night of Artists Art Magazine. I remain deeply grateful for every collector, curator, and collaborator who welcomes my work into their space.
