About

I am an artist living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, working in watercolour and coloured pencil. I create realistic paintings and drawings of botanical subjects.

When I was a child I got lost in drawing and art projects for hours. But I set it aside for many years to pursue other things. When I started to see my father struggle with Parkinsons disease, losing the dexterity required to write, I knew I couldn’t put off art for another minute.

I took up drawing again in 2015 and focused on botanical subjects in 2016, earning a Diploma of Botanical Art Graduating with Distinction from from London Art College. I continued to study art with the highly acclaimed Canadian Botanical artist Margaret Best in Calgary.

Each one of these paintings or drawings was created through thoughtful study, persistence and love.
