Visual Art – Edmonton

I’m a self-taught artist originally from Nova Scotia and have been calling Alberta home for about 10 years. I fell in love with painting after my children left the nest in 2011. Since then I continue to thoroughly enjoy the process of learning how to express myself through experimenting with acrylics and oils. Portraits, both people and pets, make up the largest portion of my body of work although it does also include other styles. There’s just something so fascinating about faces and the various emotions their expressions can convey. I enjoy both the challenge and the satisfaction of completing a portrait that captures the essence of my subjects. I tend to paint with my heart leading the way and I just follow it.
