My journey as an artist has been a winding path, leading me to a place where I can fully embrace my passion—my art. Within each piece, I find a sense of peace, and through that peace, my spirit is able to flourish with joy.
For over 30 years, I have felt a deep connection to the Koi fish, a symbol that has become central to my work. The Koi's graceful movements and seamless integration with its environment embody the beauty of simply being oneself. This is the message I hope to share with viewers: there is profound beauty in embracing who you are.
Throughout history, the Koi has been revered as a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and longevity. Often given as a gift to celebrate a happy marriage, the Koi represents harmony and balance, much like the yin and yang, with pairs swimming together in perfect unity.
Bringing a piece of Koi artwork into your home is said to invite positive energy, abundance, and a sense of harmony. My art, like the Koi, reflects a journey of self-discovery and appreciation—a celebration of flowing with the currents of life while staying true to oneself.

Based on my creative upbringing, it should have come as no surprise that I naturally gravitated towards design. My creative outlets have included interior design, feng shui, fine art painting and jewellery design. My soul is happiest when I am my authentic self, as it fuels the passionate and calm energy that you will find in my work.
Living in the Kawartha area has provided me with an ever changing landscape. You will find this beauty portrayed in my creations. I paint both present day landscapes and objects, other times, I make sure of my free and organic style to create what I imagine. I am also know for composing one of a kind statement pieces of wearable art. I take great care in sourcing out exotic and unique components from all over the world. Each gem, bead, clasp and pendant tells a story and when artistically combined they evolve into a magnificent piece.
By experimenting with textures, colours and patterns my desire to create pieces that evoke emotion and self-reflection are realized. There is a calming, yet colourful influence to much of my work.
The show will be on display from October 17th - November 10th, 2024.
