MY STORY
Proudly Canadian and based in BC, Canada
Born and raised in British Columbia, Canada, my artistic history began in 2010 when I decided to pick up a pencil. My artwork has since been commissioned both locally and internationally.
In 2014 I moved to Vancouver hoping to pursue my art further by attending Vancouver Film School. After entering the world of cinema visual effects I worked my way up to Lead Lighting Technical Director as a VFX artist at a large film studio in Vancouver. My work can be found in films such as “Ad Astra” (2019), “The Dark Tower” (2017), and “Independence Day: Resurgence” (2016) - full list of films can be found on my IMDb page.
After leaving the film industry in pursuit of a quieter less stressful life, I am now back to following my original passion of creating pencil drawings and paintings for the world to enjoy. I find no greater joy than when a person feels an emotional attachment to a piece I meticulously created. I connect with each of my pieces of art. To me they each have a life of their own.
In addition to my own unique works of art, I accept commissions. Usually custom animal portraits, but also people and sometimes landscapes or nature pieces. A past competitive equestrian myself and raised with horses and animals my entire life, I understand the love and devotion one feels toward their animal loved ones. I'm currently entertained by my much loved Labrador dog/child, Casper.
Meet Casper, my chief of emotional support
Casper is a rare charcoal lab with tan points, and my absolute best friend. He usually hangs out within a few feet of me, we do pretty much everything together.
My home
I live in a remote area of British Columbia, Canada, one of the gulf islands off of Vancouver Island. Its quiet solitude is perfect for me to just enjoy life and focus on my art. I choose peace and quiet and love the beautiful nature, wildlife and mild weather.
