Biography

I am an animal artist working primarily in oil, with occasional work in soft pastel. My work focuses on both beloved pets and wildlife. I began painting full-time in 2009, the same year I was featured in Pie Magazine and the Barrie Examiner, and honoured as Kempenfest’s Feature Artist. I earned Master Pastellist (MPAC) status in 2013 and became a Certified Bob Ross Instructor in 2019. I also teach painting and drawing classes for all ages at my own studio in Coldwater, Ontario.
