A little about me
Helllllooooo my arty friend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to view my work so far.
​
it was only 3 years ago that I chose to make a bold change in my life! I decided to move to remote northland and follow my childhood passion, my true love, my joy - which is painting!
​
The best thing about my life is the fact I get to collaborate with creativity daily and bring through glimmers of light and wonder!
​
I hope that you see and feel the connectivity of joy weaving its way into your realm as you indulge in my artwork. whether im creating via paint, wool, or clay, pastel, whatever, I hope to bring through that same joyful and FUN energy that you loveeee.
​
I absolutely adore working on commission- I love working with your delightfully unique colour palettes and inspiration to bring through a piece of art that is simply perfect for you. so please reach out if you'd like to talk more with me about that!
​
I can't wait to work with you.
