About Me

I am an artist.
I paint in acrylic and watercolour, and enjoy trying many other media. I love carving linocuts and hand-printing those onto paper or fabrics too. Wherever I turn, I see something else I’d like to try.
I wasn’t always so artistic.
Growing up, I thought art was hard. I remember being in elementary school art class and while I loved trying new things, nothing ever seemed to work out as I expected. So as soon as I had the option, I dropped art class.
Fast forward to adulthood, I was always trying out new crafts, but would look wistfully at artists who always seemed to know just the right way to paint a sunset or could quickly draw something simple. I wanted to learn, so I signed up for a drawing class with the local arts centre.
Suddenly I learned that I could actually draw, if given the right direction. Ever since then, I’ve been learning as much as I can about being an artist. I have dedicated much of my hobby time to learning and am a founding member of the Leaning Oaks annual art residency. This website is my way of sharing what I’ve learned with those also on their own artistic journeys.
So join me….what are you going to create this weekend?
