I create vibrantly colorful works on canvas that evoke emotion and inspire joy through acrylic mediums. I relish adding my own unique touch to abstract cityscapes, figurative abstracts, animals, flowers and landscapes. I draw inspiration from nature, particularly where I live in Sooke, British Columbia.
