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. I’m drawn to vibrant colour, texture, and movement, and use a range of media to create abstract explorations of natural spaces. Themes of awe and solitude recur throughout my work, inviting viewers into a contemplative space of their own. I’m inspired by nature, travel, lived experience, and sometimes by the materials themselves. 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.

I hope my work resonates and brings you joy.
