This painting holds the secrets of life. The more you look, the more you will see. This work of art currently holds my heart and resides in my personal collection. She sings of love and light. Invokes dreams of possibility and hope. She will hold a letter from me, the artist, which speaks on how this painting has healed my heart, opened up a world of possibilities, has let in the light. Half of the proceeds of the sale of this painting will go towards Forever Home Sanctuary in my local community. They rescue the animals, and the animals in turn heal us. Community is so important for us all. Do what you can from where you are, open your heart and bring in the light. We can create an impact, one moment and decision at a time. Dream.

Welcome to wonderland. Hope is a powerful force, and it can be found within a painting. My paintings are inspired by the natural wonders around us, sharing the beauty and joy I experience in nature. In our busy lives, we often overlook the subtle magic of the natural world. Through my work, I aim to express this beauty from a joyful perspective, inviting viewers to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters. My art serves as a reminder of life’s wonders and to give hope. For 20 years, I set aside my passion for art to pursue what I believed was more important, but it left me feeling like something was missing. Eight years ago, I picked up a paintbrush once again, and I haven’t looked back since. Art calls to me, and I hope to share this joyful experience with you. I love living in the Okanagan Valley. I grew up here and I’m inspired to paint the natural wonders I see in landscapes, flowers and animals. I’m a member of The Federation of Canadian Artists, The Okanagan Artists of Canada and The Vernon Chamber of Commerce. I have paintings currently on display in Vernon at my studio in Gallery Vertigo, The Vibe, Okanagan Gift Co in The Village Green Mall, Evolve Studio Silver Star Mountain, Friesens Country Time Gardens, Apple Valley Automotive, and previously at the Vernon Arts Center, The Armstrong Art Gallery, Creative Chaos, and The Okanagan Artisan Show. I will create for as long as I live, embarking on a journey into the realm of possibility. Join me in a world where imagination becomes reality—each painting is the beginning of a story waiting to unfold.
