Monarch butterflies were the summer staple growing up in Toronto. They used to be everywhere! It makes my heart soar to see them slowly coming back. This one paused for an xl photoshoot to commemorate the moment :)

My work is infused with the optimism and serendipity of adventure. I focus on capturing the essence of spontaneous and joyful moments. I think of my paintings as visual reminders to pause, take in the present, and look to the good of what is happening here and now. They are snap shots of memories and moments – be it from travels to faraway places, birds in flight overhead, scenic drives in the country, or walking and looking up in my city.
Many pieces are based on photos taken during my travels. Proudly Canadian, I also enjoy painting nostalgic iconography. I create work with loose brushstrokes and use acrylic for immediacy and vibrancy.
