An artist from an early age, I am a graduate of Vancouver’s Emily Carr College of Art and Design with a career that has spanned fine art photography, painting, graphic design and video production.
I have shifted to creating original photo based art after finding the expression of a magical world arising, outside of time and seasons. I am inspired by the wild and beautiful exuberance of nature and in my work I celebrate the joy, wonder, mystery and beauty of life.
Floral Photo Collages: A blend of intricate layers and vibrant colours. Carefully selected elements from my original photos are layered in a deliberate process to produce intriguing images that speak to the wonders and mysteries of nature.
