I am a mom. I am a military spouse. I am an artist.
I think those three things say the most about me, or the most about what's important to me. Since we're a military family that means we've moved around the countryside from time to time but currently call Manitoba home. We've been very fortunate to see parts of our beautiful country that we may not have been able to see if it weren't for my husbands job. So while this life can be a bit chaotic at times, there are some wonderful opportunities as well. Being an artist has offered me the flexibility needed to roll with whatever my families needs are at the time. Which really works out because it's what I'm most passionate about.
I started creating and selling my work professionally in 2005 and haven't stopped since! Over the years I've dabbled in mediums such as watercolour, Prismacolor Pencil, acrylic, liquid oil, and more recently digital work using programs such as Procreate. My preferred genre is fantasy illustration work but I've also dipped my toes into the more abstract side of things from time to time as well.
This past year (2023) I also opened up a small bunkhouse gallery in behind our seasonal cottage and sell my work, as well as the work of some of my artist friends, during the summer months!
