  • In search of inspiration

  • My hikes in regional and provincial parks spark my curiosity, nurture my sense of wonder, and enrich my understanding of the natural world. Nature, environmental stewardship, and an ecocentric view of the world are central to my art.
  • Original from the ground up

  • I seek out my subjects in person to see what makes them unique and how they relate to their environment. (This rat snake was doing a convincing imitation of a tree root during a hike through Frontenac Provincial Park.)
  • Life-long learning

  • By working in different mediums, I continue to push myself to learn new things and look at subjects in new ways. My passion for learning extends to my subjects. I love getting lost in research about a lichen or amphibian I stumble upon on my adventures.

Special Projects

A Year at Silent Lake

My family and I are visiting the same park each month for an entire year. I am creating twelve natural history illustrations to represent the ecological highlights of each month at the park. These will be paired with photos and writing about our experiences.

Quilted Forest Project

This body of work focuses on the often overlooked minutia of the forest — the miniature landscapes of mosses, lichens, and fungi that blanket forests of all kinds. The pieces are created to generate wonder and an emotional connection to the the small and fascinating organisms that are as integral to a forest as its trees.

Sculptures

Since March 2020, I have begun a series of sculptures created with air dry clay and mixed media. This collection features regional wildlife entwined with often overlooked organisms from their shared habitat: mosses, lichens, and fungi.

Foundation Series

These illustrations highlight the ancient foundations of rocks and roots that create sculptural forms in the forest.
