Biography

My interest in art began when I moved to Vancouver Island to pursue my counseling career. During that time, I studied art at North Island College and mentored with several established local artists. My exploration of materials in; clay, stone, metal, concrete, paint and canvas has resulted in the creation of sculpture and paintings which emphasizes form and colour.

 

I approach art as a life long journey of learning. Each work of art is a process of growth and informs the next. Generally I work intuitively and in a highly expressive way. My art is a continuous process of self exploration and a reflection of my inner and outer experience in the world.
