I first discovered watercolor during ‘stay at home’ orders of the pandemic. I am mostly self-taught, with a little help from online classes and YouTube tutorials. My favourite medium is watercolor, but I also enjoy sketching, pastels and acrylics. 

Landscapes are my go-to painting genre, but I also enjoy trying to capture the personality of our furry and feathered friends.

I am grateful for how my art journey has taught me to see the world differently. From the watchful and soulful eyes of an animal, to how the sun reflects off the water. I now pay more attention to the colors and cloud formations in the sky, the beauty in a sunset or how the leaves of a tree change as the wind blows through them. It has taught me to see the beauty all around us.
