And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
— Anais Nin


Hello and welcome! I’m an abstract painter and textile artist located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. A lifelong creative, I recently ‘retired’ from my day job and traded spreadsheets for paint brushes and piles of wool. Life is good. 

Making art makes me happy. Working across a range of media, I create abstract explorations of natural spaces shaped by memory and emotion. Themes of awe and solitude recur throughout my work, inviting viewers into a contemplative space of their own. Inspired by nature, travel, and lived experience, I’m drawn to vibrant colour, texture, and movement. My process is intuitive and immersive, allowing each piece to unfold over time and gather meaning through gesture, colour, and the emotional resonance of remembered places.

My work has been exhibited locally in Kitchener–Waterloo Society of Artists group shows, at Toronto’s Leslie Grove Gallery, Blyth’s Fabhaus Gallery & Fare, St. Jacobs’ Tiny Ass Art Gallery, and in juried exhibitions.

I hope my work resonates and brings you joy.
