About the Artist

I live in Atlantic Canada, have three wonderful children, and I’ve been working as an artist for almost twenty years.  My primary focus has always been whimsical illustration and intricate design.  My designs were strongly influenced by my years overseas in the Middle East, and of course my refusal to grow up keeps the magic of faeries alive.

My primary mediums are pen and ink, watercolours and watercolour pencils, as well as my camera.  I also create collectible art dolls, beaded jewelry, pyrography and miniature quilts.

I hope you enjoy the art you see here, I’ve put a lot of myself into every piece.  Each one has significant meaning beyond the obvious.  Check back often to see what’s new and always feel free to ask questions not covered in the FAQs.  I check my messages daily and make a point to try to respond to every email in a timely manner.  Now sit back with a cup of hot tea and wander through my world.
