Welcome to my Studio
I am an artist from Canada, living on Vancouver Island. My art includes animals, landscapes, watercolours, and portraits. I was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and also lived in England, Ontario, and British Columbia. My art is inspired by nature and the stories it holds.
I believe people deserve the peace of mind to see both the details and the big picture at the same time, to truly hear each other, and to let their real selves shine. But we’ve been told that being busy means being worthy, digital connection is drowning out the natural world that could restore us. That’s why I want to remind people that we need to take the time to restore and refuel ourselves with the stillness and compassion of a snail, in grounded moments with the natural world… because that’s where the peacock truly shines.
