With over 21 years of experience, her work is featured in private collections across Canada and internationally, including in Iceland, Mexico, Germany, Russia, Australia, the United States, India, Switzerland, and Sweden. Much of her work and imagination has been beautifully inspired by exposure to diverse techniques, styles and materials encountered through extensive travel to over 30 countries around the world. Her journey through motherhood has also influenced every facet of creating, “Motherhood has profoundly shaped the way I see the world, my artistic growth and I can even say has aided in refining my technical style.”
Her work incorporates elements of realism, abstraction, and psychedelia with an hint of whimsy into her pieces.
