HELLO!

I am a painter and illustrator. I work from my home studio on the West Coast of Canada. My home is on a hill where it’s wooded and quiet, overlooking islands and ocean. 

I have been a dedicated full time artist all my life and thrive on creating. If it’s creative, I’ll do it! I have branched out a lot but my absolute love is painting and illustration.

If I’m not in my studio, I am usually in my patio garden where it’s evident I have a thing for boxwoods. If not there, I’m reading, or running, or off exploring with a camera.

I have a BA in Art History and Visual Arts, and specialized in Renaissance, and Middle East and European Garden Design. I’m still passionate about all of it and my historical book collection just keeps growing.

LICENSING

I love collaborations, designing to brief, project work, and creating collections. I have experience as a licensed fine artist but have spent the last 2 years studying pattern design and the business of art licensing.

My art is a mix of analog and digital, and I love creating moods. My style is contemporary, but classic. My process starts with acrylic or watercolour analog and then edited and developed in Procreate.

My collections are focused on wallpaper, wall art, home decor, stationery, and giftware.

If you’d like to work together, please visit my licensing page (coming Summer 2026) where you’ll find a curated portfolio. More work is available on request. Please feel free to reach out through email.

PAINTING

My paintings are about quiet places. I love to create a sense of calmness. It is what I appreciate in my world. I also appreciate humour, whimsy, and quirkiness so that shows up too, more often in my illustrations.

I work exclusively in acrylic and most often on cradled board as I like the weight of it. I paint what I call ‘Teenies’, which are 3 x 4in gems, all the way up to large canvas work.

I sell and ship my work all over the world.

ILLUSTRATION

My illustrations are whimsical and quirky. They are a snapshot of a story that’s popped into my head. They range from full page colour to icons on a crisp white background depending on what I’m illustrating for.

I’m content to work on my own but also love project work and working in collaboration with others. Connecting with people over creativity… it’s fun, and wildly inspiring.

I illustrate using Procreate and often incorporate elements from my paintings into my illustration, bringing the two together. I love creating little worlds of gardens and houses, along with anything else that comes to mind.

FOOD ILLUSTRATION

I have done single illustration food projects and enormous ones, where I produced a lot of drawings. Small or large contracts, I like illustrating all things ‘kitchen’. I’ve done work for food magazines, events, and publishing.

I was the co-creator of a recipe book in a great collaboration with Chef Denise Marchessault. The Artful Pie Project (Whitecap Books) is visually fun and full of my illustration and photography, set alongside Denise’s fantastic writing and recipes.

Please contact me if you are interested in licensing my work, or collaborating on a creative project.
