ABOUT THE ARTIST

I’m an artist guided by intuition, color, and spirit. My work embraces femininity, maximalism, and the layered mystery of being alive. I’m drawn to what exists just beyond the visible—the emotional, the energetic, the liminal.

I believe beauty is a frequency—a portal. My paintings are a way of translating what I feel but can’t always say: fleeting truths, remembered light, the sacred in the everyday.

Though born in Toronto, I’ve lived across many landscapes—from the Grey Highlands to Kelowna, BC, and now Montréal. Each place has shaped me, much like each brushstroke—imperfect, intuitive, and full of presence.

I consider myself largely self-taught, though I often feel I’m remembering more than I’m learning. This practice is my devotion, my meditation, and my offering.
