Original acrylic paintings inspired by wild leaves gathered on autumn walks. Each piece is created with block print and ghost print techniques, exploring vibrant color, negative space, and the fall.

Falling Leaves Collection

Mini plein-air sketches of the David Thompson backcountry, combining watercolour washes with freehand black-line drawings. Each work is a drawing with expression, capturing subtle landscapes.

Freehand Horizons

Imagined landscapes shaped by bold, vertical strokes—raw, expressive, and alive with the imperfect rhythms of nature.

Wild Strokes of Nature

Landscapes where nature surprises and delights—Bold, imaginative compositions spark wonder and playful tension, inviting the viewer into a world where the unexpected thrives.

Whims of the Wild

Surreal figures inhabit imagined landscapes—sometimes distinct, sometimes merged with natural forms, always shaping the composition with tension, rhythm, and presence.

Veiled Presences

Abstract landscapes shaped by bold horizontal and vertical movements of nature. Imagined and expressive, these works capture the raw movement, depth, and energy of land or water.

Raw Gestures of Nature

Textured landscapes exploring depth and the movement of water. Atmospheric, these imagined scenes flow between mountains and mist, evoking nature’s shifting rhythms without reference to reality.

Waterscapes of the Imagination

Small oil paintings of abstract figures, shaped with bold palette knife strokes. Inspired by what was workforce but in parks during covid, they carry a expressive energy of movement and resilience.

Workforce in Transition

These are all ink on parchment paper. I love to let the ink spill and create shapes out of it. Similar to wood burning, spilled ink is not the easiest to work with, you have to have a plan and follow the flow and avoid puddles. Keeping shapes, forms and lines to create figure is the hardest I find, but it's a fun challenge that I like to embark on sometimes.
