Artist Statement

My art is my therapy.

Being creative is one of the ways that I manage depression and anxiety.
I find my happy, calm place in the process of creating something beautiful. My landscape paintings are creations of images that aspire to soothe the soul and wrap the viewer in warmth and light.

I greatly enjoy the peace of nature and I strive to design a window into a world that comforts the heart and brightens the spirit. I love the strong pigments of oil paints and often find myself creating a brighter, more colourful world than the eye would normally see.

I am on full time disability, managing severe, treatment resistant depression and social anxiety. Being creative is my outlet. It is my passion. It is my life.

Welcome to my Peace of Mind.
