My Background
My Background
My Background
I am a Canadian artist whose creative journey began in early childhood, shaped by a rare throat disorder that made art my primary form of communication. From those formative years, I developed a deep appreciation for visual expression, especially through painting. I often found myself carrying pencils, crayons, and paper everywhere.

My Background
Encouraged by my early passion, I began private oil painting lessons at age 10, which laid a strong foundation for my artistic development as a visual artist. I later pursued art education at the university level, where I transitioned to acrylic painting—a medium that continues to define my work today.

My Inspiration
Delicate petals, bursts of vibrant colour, majestic mountains, and quirky animals - these wonders drive me to create nature-inspired acrylic paintings. Each day in my growing garden, family hikes, and scenic travels brings something new that inspires me. I find the diversity of nature so fascinating that I cannot limit myself to painting
Delicate petals, bursts of vibrant colour, majestic mountains, and quirky animals - these wonders drive me to create nature-inspired acrylic paintings. Each day in my growing garden, family hikes, and scenic travels brings something new that inspires me. I find the diversity of nature so fascinating that I cannot limit myself to painting just one subject. This constant discovery shapes not only what I paint as a visual artist, but also how I approach each piece.
