INSPIRED BY NATURE. CREATED WITH JOY.
Are you an artist? Do you wish you could paint? I always knew I couldn’t, until I moved to Calgary from Australia in 2010, read book after book, and enrolled in a class.
It was SO exciting to discover that making art was something I could learn.
I love acrylic as I have no patience with waiting for anything to dry. I can do pretty much anything with it on canvas, paper, or board: watercolour effects, thick texture, bursts of colour, subtle lines.
What emerges is usually a total surprise, one of the great delights for me as I work.
I hope my paintings bring you a smile too!
"To love art is to embrace the language of the soul"
Art is more than paint on a canvas, colour on the page. It helps us refresh our minds, bring peace to our homes, and do the work we are called to in the world.
I paint emotions rather than objects. I want you to feel that you are standing on the mountain top, in the forest or on the windswept beach, or to capture something essential in an abstract that won't let you turn away.
Many of my paintings were inspired by the beaches of Australia, or the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, but they are all tinged with imagination.
