I love to create art that brings the outside in. I love art that makes me think about what I am seeing and not just see it. It is that that I am trying to achieve in my work as I begin this journey as an artist.

I loved art in high school, but it was 15 years before I picked up a paint brush again, surprising myself and my friends with what I could achieve. I’ve learned that by using vibrant colours and creating depth the viewer will be drawn into my work and experience it in a more active way.

My current works represents my renewal as an artist, reflecting the places, people, and objects that I love or fascinate me.

Portrait of Pam Van Londen, Artist

Acrylic on Canvas
8x10


I did this painting for the Different Strokes Blog. Pam Van Londen, an artist from Oregon, did an amazingly beautiful painting of me, putting my attempt to shame, but not as bad as the first few tries. Portraits are tough! Pam and I are trading our portraits.
