My affinity and deep respect for the natural world stems from a life of exploring mountainous terrain around the world, including my own backyard in the Kootenay region of British Columbia where I have found inspiration for over 20 years. My lifelong hobby of photographing the vistas I encounter provides ongoing reference material for my more recent passion for painting.

Art became the unexpected silver lining while recovering from a traumatic brain injury. In 2020, I put brush to canvas for the first time in my life as a therapeutic outlet and I have not stopped since. An engineer by profession, I have converted my problem-solving skills to my creative practice through cognitive “rewiring”. My neural pathways have transformed from analyzing data to construing the mixing of hues and tapestry of brushstrokes.
