I have no exact memory of when it began, but I do know that as a child and onwards, a pen, pencil or paintbrush was always at my fingertips.

My true love of the animals in my world whether wild or companions, has been the source of my inspiration and the desire to capture their heart and soul and the power of their existence through my art.

My paintings are the pieces of my heart that are the memories of my lifetime, and the beauty of my surroundings in the Laurentian Mountains has served to enhance the expression of my creations. My art

I am the illustrator of a children's book featuring my rescue dogs; it has successfully sold over 500 copies in the first 2 months and I created wall calendars featuring my paintings of Australian Terriers submitted by people from all over the world. 100 copies sold out In 2023.

 

Art workshops: Sharing with others through artwork and lessons has become more than my mission in life, it is my life. With a degree in Fine Arts and over 25 years of experience teaching painting and drawing in my studio, my approach is to guide the students to understand why they should paint and follow certain techniques, stimulating their confidence and creativity.

To paint a beloved pet is to capture a piece of the heart. I treat Each custom portrait with the utmost reverence, knowing that by the final brushstroke, I’ve formed a bond with a new soul.
