" Although creative as a child, life conditions pushed my art to the side for many years. A blessing in the disguise of a cancer diagnosis helped me realize that I must live vibrantly each day, trust my inner guidance, create artwork to bring joy to myself and others, and take actions to show that we can all make a difference in the world. I am now cultivating positive change and nurturing that creative spark back into my life, and am excited to see where this path takes me! I am so lucky to live and paint in Prince George, British Columbia where there is an abundance of wildlife and nature all around to inspire me, but I know a piece of my heart will always remain on the coast with the cedars, wolves, and spirit bears.
