Animal Portrait and Mixed Media Artist
About Me
Welcome to my artistic world! I’m a passionate Canadian Artist dedicated to capturing the beauty and essence of life through various mediums including coloured pencils, watercolours, graphite and other mediums. I live with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.
My journey as an artist began during the pandemic lockdown and I quickly figured out that I enjoy realism the most and that animal portraits are my passion. My first portrait of a dog was of my priude and joy, my dog Fergus which did not tun out quite as I planned but I took to learning more skills and techniques to better hone my talent.
I also have many other hobbies that keep me occupied, like playing piano, video games cooking and writing my first book. I find the great inspiration in the natural and animal world, particularly with Wildlife and Pets. Each piece I create is a window into my perspective on the world around us.
I get my artistic ability from a long line of artists, and the women who had all the faith in me God rest her soul my Nan. I got my passion for life from my father who left me with his zest for life and always reminded me to always look on the bright side of life.
