My work as an artist, author and teacher focuses on sharing the transformative power of painting with Earth and heart. I nurture joyful creative connection and authentic personal expression through art. I do this via in person and online art courses, experiential nature art encounters, and thoughtfully crafted self study resources because I believe art-making is our birthright. Everyone has the ability to create with natural ease. My photo-art and mixed media paintings bring natural pattern to life. Each painting is a passionate expression of feeling into another life.
I hold a Doctorate in Transformative Learning from the University of Toronto. I live, work and play on Salt Spring Island, BC.
