I’m a Nova Scotia artist creating layered, expressive portraits that lean into tension, tenderness, and the beautifully messy business of being human. My work is rooted in a lifelong pull toward faces — the stories they hold, the emotions they reveal, the contradictions they can’t quite hide.
Art has been a life-long obsession. It keeps me sane.
I paint the way people feel: raw in places, tender in others, sometimes fierce, sometimes weary, always honest. I’m drawn to colour that hums with emotion, mark‑making that stays a little wild, and the kind of expression that tells you more than words ever could.
After years of raising a family, farming, building a business and forever making things I now paint full‑time from our lakeside home in rural Nova Scotia — a place that keeps me grounded, curious, and always reaching for the next portrait.
If you’re here, WELCOME. I hope you find something in my work that feels familiar, challenging, or simply human.
