Born and raised in rural Saskatchewan, I'd spend my time drawing, crafting, and exploring outside. As I got older, this love for the outdoors grew with each canoe trip I went on in Northern Saskatchewan. This passion led me to the University of Alberta Augustana campus to study Kinesiology in the Outdoor Education Stream. While studying, I took a couple drawing courses and eventually started teaching myself to paint. Once I finished my degree in 2021, I moved into my van and headed to the mountains, painting my adventures while living on the road. After travelling throughout Western and Northern Canada climbing, skiing, and painting for a few years, I now call Revelstoke, BC home.

 

Majority of my work is landscape painting that is done either plein air (on location) or from photos of my time travelling outside. Painting these environments helps me build a different relationship to the place by slowing down to look at how the small details of colour and/or linework makes up the larger scene. My hope is that by bringing these landscapes to your home, it can help you build a connection to the place in your own unique way.

I have gallery representation with Art First Gallery in Revelstoke, BC and the Art Gallery of Golden. My first solo exhibit, Cosmos Out of Chaos, made its debut in May 2023 at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Center, and will be exhibited at Art Gallery Kimberley (March 2024) and the Smithers Art Gallery (September 2024). My second solo exhibit, Home in Unexpected Places, will make it's rounds in Revelstoke at Holm Coffee Company (June 2024), the Art Gallery of Golden (July 2024), and select works at the Brackendale Art Gallery (August 2024).
