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.

​

My paintings begin intuitively, sometimes with an animal, sometimes with a colour palette, and often with a feeling I want to explore. From there, each piece develops through layered paint, gestural marks, and a process that allows the image to emerge naturally over time. Rather than planning every detail, I work with a sense of discovery, allowing each painting to reveal its own direction.

Through a combination of abstraction and realism, I aim to create a sense of presence in each work. Animals often become the focal point because they carry an immediacy and honesty that feels universally understood.

​

I’m interested in the space between strength and softness, how both can exist at the same time in a single expression or moment.

My work has been featured in juried exhibitions, curated art walks across Alberta, and publications including Night of Artists Art Magazine. It is held in private collections across Canada and internationally.

I am deeply grateful for every collector, curator, and collaborator who has welcomed my work into their space.
