About Me…
I was born in sunny California and when I was very young my parents moved me, and my 7 siblings, back to Vancouver. When we first arrived in Vancouver we stayed at my grandparents house and some of my earliest child hood memories are at that home. I loved spending time with my grandma in her garden where she taught me about the many flowers and plants she was growing. I treasure those early memories of my first summer in Canada and getting to know my grandma. That same year she and my grandfather left on a year long cross country road trip that they never made it home from. I credit my grandma for my ability to identify many plants and my love of nature. To this day being in a garden can trigger the feelings of a very happy carefree three year old enjoying a sunny day with her grandma.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.”
No matter where I go or what I do I’m inspired by the beauty I see everyday! Currently I live with my large family in Port Coquitlam, a gorgeous small City just outside of Vancouver, B.C. Here we are surrounded by 3 rivers, shoreline trails, mountains and the pacific ocean nearby. Before starting my own family, I was lucky enough to travel often and every chance I get I still like to go somewhere I haven’t been before. I’m now finding the time to record all the beauty that inspires me. Please have a look around my site and if you’d like to purchase one of these original paintings for yourself or as a gift please reach out so we can make that happen!
