Hello,I'm
Animals, Love, Art, and Beauty -
those are the four heartbeat rhythms of my life.
I create highly detailed pastel portraits that captures the essence of the animals we love.
​
From those slow-drawn creations, Fine art prints, greeting cards, and more are made, ready for the homes and hearts of animal lovers.
I’ve been doodling furry faces since I could hold a pencil, but the real aha moment came in high school when I drew a Kodiak bear in chalk pastel.
​
My principal loved it so much he hung it in his office — and for the first time, I realized people connected to my artwork as deeply as I did.
​
That spark carried me through to Grade 12, when I received the Dr. W.M. Armstrong Award for the highest general art mark.
​
I graduated from Fanshawe College with a Fine Arts degree in 2006, and after the birth of my daughter in 2020, I decided to finally go for the dream — to become a full-time artist. Four years later, that dream became reality.
Today, my work can be found in galleries, local events, and beautiful shops across Canada (including the AGO Store), as well as in homes around the world.
In 2025, I was honoured with a Talent Prize Award from the Teravarna International Juried Art Competition and First Place from the Portrait Society of Canada with a Best Portrait Award — an incredible honour and a moment I’ll never forget.
To say it still feels like a dream would be an understatement.
At home in Moonstone, Ontario—with my amazing partner, our incredible kiddo, and one opinionated cat—I work from our cozy studio amid the woods.
Here, I make art slowly and with intention, always thinking of the person who’ll bring it into their home.
​
Thanks for landing here.
I’m so glad you’re part of this journey.
