Artist Statement:
I am an artist and illustrator. I enjoy combining hand drawings with digital illustrations to create whimsical art creations. Most recently, my illustrated maps of local destinations have become my passion. I plan on illustrating my way through Canada.
In my 20 years of experience of owning my own business, I have been commissioned by greeting card companies, small business owners, and many individual clients to design custom one of a kind designs.
Originally from Beamsville, Ontario I have lived in British Columbia, Florida, and now reside in Grimsby Ontario with my family and little dog Bubbles.
