I am a self-taught artist. I started painting about 3 years ago, following surgery, as a way to keep my mind active during recovery.
We live in Whitehorse in the The Yukon, on the beautiful traditional lands of the Kwanlin Dün and Ta’an Kwäch’än First Nations. We are grateful to be able to live surrounded by such beauty.

My first artwork was mainly watercolour and covered many different subjects.
(See watercolour paintings on this page.Yukoners will recognise the one that depicts the iconic clay cliffs in Whitehorse.)
Later, I also started painting in soft pastels.
Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I soon realised that what I really enjoy creating are animal portraits, which is what I focus on now. My pet portraits are done in either watercolours, pastels, or a combination of both.
