Visual Art – Vancouver

I'm an artist based in Vancouver, Canada. I grew up in the beautiful Okanagan valley where much of my childhood was spent exploring outdoors, at the beach, in the cherry orchards and in her own backyard. You can see in my art the influence of the natural world ~ the water, trees, plants, animals. I've loved painting and creating things from a very young age and that passion continued throughout my school and college years. However. I would say that I'm mostly self-taught . I now have come back to painting after many year doing different "practical" jobs...I landed eventually in the film industry's paint department and am now back doing my own art and loving it!
