Who I Am
I am an Discovery Seeking Watercolour Artist .
Based in the rugged heart of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, I am a watercolor artist whose most receent work explores the intersection of geological history and modern elemental flow.
I am married to a writer and photographer with a love of the outdoors. In addition I have recently branched out an am now teaching watercolour paint nights and offering individual lessons.
My paintings are the works of an art explorer - a traveler. I am always learning and growing as an artist, and I believe in valuing the journey. I hope to inspire you by sharing my art.
Why I Paint
I have fallen in love with watercolour. I often try to control life, my situation and watercolour doesn't care what I think - it has it's own agenda, does what it does. I can guide it, but when applying wet paint to a wet surface? I can't force it anymore than I can force a child to swallow mashed peas. And this is liberating, therapeutic, exciting. Watercolour teaches me patience, wet paint must dry before adding detail. It teaches me to adapt, be flexible, to be better at being me.
