I am a painter exploring the relationship with the self, shaped by the internal dialogue that unfolds during the creative process. Questions of doubt and judgment arise with each mark, yet painting becomes a practice of surrender—an invitation to embrace imperfection and soften the inner critic.

My work centers on unlearning patterns that no longer serve me. Through a meditative approach, I create abstract floral landscapes that emerge intuitively, guided by feeling rather than control. These imagined forms hold both vulnerability and joy, reflecting a process of self-acceptance and quiet transformation.

Working on upcycled linens, I connect personal memory with material history. The fabrics evoke my Nova Scotian roots while carrying traces of past lives, grounding the work in both lineage and renewal.

Ultimately, my practice is about becoming—honoring the cycles of growth and decay, and creating space for reflection, connection, and shared human experience.
