Nature-Inspired Artwork | Birds, Insects, Flowers, Buddha, Abstract | Vancouver Island

I approach painting with a sense of play—experimenting with bold, bright colours and building rich, layered compositions. Each piece incorporates a blend of mixed media and collage. Here is a selection of my vibrant nature paintings, featuring colourful abstract work, flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, birds and Buddha. Each piece celebrates the beauty of nature, while evoking joy and energy.

I am currently working on a new series of marine life paintings and art cards, inspired by my own nature photography. Coming soon!

Giclees, prints and a few originals are available. Please inquire via the contact page.

"The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration." `Claude Monet

I respectfully acknowledge that Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are the traditional and unceded
territories of the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Kwakwaka’wakw Peoples.
I am deeply grateful to the Qualicum, Snaw-naw-as, and Snuneymuxw Nations, on whose lands I walk, guide, and learn.
It is an honour to live, work, and gather here.
