My Story

One of my earliest memories is sitting at the bottom of a canoe, feeling the wind on my face. Nature has always been my school, my sanctuary, and my home. In 2008, I left my position as a kindergarten teacher to pursue my true passion: art. Over the past five years, I have focused my work on the diversity of Ontario's wilderness and its native species. Climate change and overdevelopment have taken a toll on the wild landscapes of my youth. In Southwestern Ontario alone, more than 500 species of plants and animals are now considered rare, with only 10% of the land remaining in its natural state. Our land is suffering, but we have the power to change that. My goal is for my art to raise awareness about the beauty of our native species and to inspire others to protect Ontario’s wilderness.

How I Create

In nature a trickle of water can wear down rock, a tiny breeze can move thousands of leaves, and one small seed can create a forest. Nature honours the small. I create original art that does the same.

 

Each one of my pieces is hand drawn in archival ink, mounted on a birch panel and then hand covered with resin. This process intensifies the contrast of black on white, capturing the simplicity of detail in the lines and textures.

I see nature's lessons in fallen leaves which provide nutrients to the forest, mushrooms that help trees by providing them with water and minerals, and wild flowers which are food for insects and animals. In nature it is the little things that sustain this big world. And in her honouring of the little things she has taught me about the shared connection of life, the necessity of death and the reality of something greater.
