“My artistic journey has taken me on various paths. I am particularly fond of painting outdoors en plein air, capturing my subjects directly from life. Wherever I go, from Mexico to Costa Rica, Spain, France, Italy, California, Wyoming, and many of the beautiful BC Gulf Islands, I carry my painting gear with me. Painting from life, whether it’s the landscape, a still life in the studio, or the human figure, is an integral part of my artistic practice. I find plein air painting to be incredibly fulfilling.”

Teaching Philosophy: “I firmly believe in sharing my love and knowledge of painting in a relaxed and supportive environment. Guiding students through their own creative process and encouraging them to listen to their own artistic voice brings me great joy.”

Artist Statement: “The vibrant colours, the textures in fabrics, and the ever-changing light in the landscape inspire me to translate them onto canvas. Drawing from these elements, I create lines, shapes, and forms with a strong design that beckons me to my easel each and every day.”
