As a young child I remember many family road trips through the Alberta Foothills and Rocky Mountains to our cabin in the Windermere Valley in British Columbia. On those trips I always had paper and pencils and I would spend hours drawing the mountains, rivers and trees we were driving past.

As an adult my family still spends many weekends and our summers in the mountains. I love to hike, mountain bike, ski, travel and be creative whether it’s painting, throwing pottery, or cooking! My mind is always working on something new to create! Usually, when we are out on the mountain trails, I am getting left behind because I can’t stop taking photos! I have hundreds of photos of landscapes, wildflowers, and wildlife patiently waiting to inspire my next painting.
I am always thinking about what to paint next!

I studied Graphic Design at ACAD and I also studied Engineering Design and Drafting Technology at SAIT in Calgary, Alberta. After a career as a draftsman in the petroleum industry, I started my career as a mom of two awesome boys. When they were young, I painted wall murals in bedrooms and at a school.
I even tried some graffiti (legal, of course). These different backgrounds have greatly influenced my painting style. I have really enjoyed growing my style over the years and becoming the artist I am today! I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I have loved making them!
