Approach / Inspiration
I am inspired by the bounty of nature around me, from the Newfoundland landscape to the delicate plants that cling with tenacity to this windswept rock I call home.
My love of gardening and my photography passion have combined to bring the beauty of colour and light into my paintings. I strive to transport the viewer into the seductive and complex world of flowers or the wild and beautiful landscape.
