About Me

My Journey and Why It Matters

From Hospitality to Art: A Journey of Expression

For over 35 years, I thrived in the fast-paced world of hospitality, curating experiences and leading with passion. Yet beneath the surface, a deeper creative pull was always waiting to be explored. After retiring and relocating to London, Ontario, I embraced this calling, embarking on a journey that transformed my artistic instincts into a full-fledged creative pursuit.

Discovering My Artistic Side

Even during my years in hospitality, I was drawn to the energy of colour, movement, and atmosphere. I was fascinated by how spaces could evoke emotions—much like a painting. When I finally picked up a brush, it wasn’t just about creating art; it was about translating emotions into something tangible. That was the moment I knew I had found my authentic creative voice.

The Heart of My Artistic Vision: Intentional Fluidity

I believe in intentional fluidity—allowing each painting to develop organically while remaining guided by purpose. My work is driven by energy, movement, and contrast. I embrace experimentation, layering techniques and textures to bring my vision to life. Every painting is a unique fusion of instinct, technique, and emotion, ensuring that no two pieces are alike.

The Appeal of Limited Originals

Exclusivity and authenticity are at the core of my artistic vision. I create limited originals, each crafted as a singular, one-of-a-kind piece. For collectors, this means owning a visually compelling and deeply personal work—an individual statement that cannot be replicated.

Inspiration and Connection

I draw inspiration from the world around me—the beauty of nature, personal experiences, and the emotions that connect us all. My goal isn’t just to create something visually striking and evoke a feeling. I want my work to spark thought, stir memories, and inspire new perspectives in those who engage with it.

“It’s not a style that determines my vision… it’s a style that creates my vision.”

Explore My World

I invite you to explore my gallery and find a piece that speaks to you. Please reach out if you’re curious about my process or have any questions. Art is about connection, and I’d love to share more about my work and creative journey with you.

"Creating fuels my imagination, driving me to explore new possibilities. It pushes me to uncover my potential and challenges me to transform vision into reality."

Where Purpose Meets Spontaneity

My creative process balances intention and instinct. Each piece begins with a vision but evolves organically, shaped by emotion, technique, and the freedom to explore. This approach ensures that every artwork is unique—an unrepeatable moment of creativity that captures both purpose and spontaneity in perfect harmony.

My Artistic Approach: Intentional Fluidity

My art is a reflection of constant evolution. Rather than adhering to a single style, each piece I create is unique, guided by fresh ideas, themes, and techniques. This philosophy of Intentional Fluidity ensures my work remains dynamic, original, and filled with unexpected discoveries.

Why It Works

This approach allows each shift in style to capture the inspiration of the moment. The result is a diverse collection of works that are united by bold creativity and exploration. While no two pieces are ever the same, my signature touches and recurring themes create a sense of harmony across my body of work, offering a cohesive yet ever-changing experience.

For Collectors

Owning my art is an opportunity to embrace moments of transformation. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, an individual expression that collectively narrates a journey of artistic growth. My work isn’t just art—it’s a story that evolves with every creation.

Beyond Boundaries

By refusing to limit myself to a single artistic path, I keep my work fresh and deeply personal. Each creation offers something new to discover, inviting viewers to engage with my evolving vision. My collections and series explore different facets of this journey, providing collectors with meaningful and distinctive pieces that inspire reflection and connection.

Why My Art is for Collectors Who Value the Unique

For Collectors Who Value the Unique: Limited Originals, Ever-evolving Style

Every piece I create is a limited original, shaped by the inspiration and techniques I explore at that moment. My artistic journey is fluid—I embrace different styles, textures, and themes, often producing only a few works in any given approach. This means that each painting is truly one-of-a-kind, never to be replicated.

When you collect my art, you’re not just acquiring a painting—you’re becoming part of an evolving creative journey. Each piece captures a moment of transformation, offering a deeply personal and exclusive connection to my ever-changing vision. Beyond décor, my work adds energy, depth, and emotion to any space, creating an atmosphere that inspires and resonates.

"Art isn’t just something you admire—it’s something you connect with. A great piece transforms a space, tells a story, and becomes part of your journey."
