Born and raised on the west coast of British Columbia, I have always held a deep appreciation for the natural beauty surrounding me.

The permanence of landscape and architecture, when combined with the ever-changing light, provides an endless source of inspiration and challenge. The tension created when painting the “Grand View” in miniature offers a type of intimacy that draws the viewer inward. It is this alluring quality inherent in miniature painting that I find fascinating to work with. It takes me about 20 hours to complete an average image that measures 2 x 4 inches, using acrylic paint on paper board, with several tiny brushes and a generous amount of patience and concentration.

As well as time spent on location, or in the studio, I enjoy painting large abstract works, drawing and design, teaching and sharing the adventure of painting with others.
