Sprout, mixed media on wooden cradle panel.

I am a multi-media artist working and residing in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I am a graduate of the fine arts program at Kwatlen University College (now Kwantlen Polytechnic University) and have participated in solo and group exhibitions at various venues throughout the greater Vancouver area and Sunshine Coast.  Over the past many years, I have employed symbolic use of colour, numbers, pattern, and archetypes to create a visual language with which to express myself and enable the viewer to read the underlying meanings within my imagery. The majority of my works reveal an appreciation for nurturing, volunteerism, multi-culturalism, and the complexities of community.
