I’m a contemporary painter based in Roberts Creek on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. I create bold, joyful artwork inspired by the animals, gardens, forests, and coastal life that surround my home.
Working primarily in acrylic on wood panels, I’m known for vibrant colour, glossy layered finishes, and animals full of personality.
My work is playful, whimsical, and meant to bring happiness into a space — what I often call dopamine décor.
I began painting in the early 2000s and started working as a full-time artist in 2013. Over the years, my work has evolved from landscapes and trees into the colourful animal portraits and florals collectors know today. More recently, I’ve been exploring the contrast between matte backgrounds and luminous glossy finishes to create depth and texture.
My artwork has been exhibited in New York City, Vancouver, Whistler, and Winnipeg, and is collected in homes around the world.
At the heart of it all, I simply want my work to make people feel good.
