BIO

​

My love of art began as a child. I was quiet and shy, so art was my voice. Expression through art brought me much joy and peace, and it became a powerful outlet for my expression. After graduating from a fine arts high school in 1997, I studied at the Vancouver Film School, followed by many years working as a computer graphics artist and animator in the animation industry. In that same time, I became a mom of two and settled in Vancouver BC.
While attending a local arts festival, I found myself inspired to reconnect with my passion for fine arts. Enthusiastically, I dove back into the tangible world of paint and canvas.
With time, I found myself creating more and more art, eventually taking part as an artist in the same festivals which had inspired me. During these events I've had moving conversations with local festival attendees from all walks of life. It became clear to me that through art there was potential for any individual to find inner inquiry and expression. Sharing the healing potential of art became a passion which led to certifying as an Expressive Arts Therapist in 2020.

I currently create art out of my East Vancouver studio.

MY WORK

​

My art is about connection, balance, and making sense of life's puzzle pieces. I see the world as a collection of fragments—people, stories, moments—all collaborating in the same space, finding balance, and striving to integrate with the greater whole. To these pieces and thought forms I add structure to.

 

Using bold, geometric shapes, I show how individual parts can stand alone yet still come together to tell a bigger story. Each shape is like a snapshot of life—a small piece of a larger, interconnected picture.

 

As a kid, I dreamed of being an architect, designing playful, quirky spaces with simple shapes. Even now, my mind buzzes with geometry, blending the real and the abstract to create art that feels like a big playground for ideas.
