Welcome! I’m a botanical artist and scientific illustrator, fine artist and painter of animals, landscapes and flowers. I live in Sherwood Park, AB (near Edmonton) and have been a visual artist creating artwork for over 20 years.
Botanical artwork and illustration created using coloured pencils and graphite. Most pieces were created by studying the real-life plant that was grown in my garden while others are from samples I was sent or from a collection of photographs of heirloom vegetables or florals that I wasn’t able to grow due to my growing season or time of year I was creating my painting.
Accepted into the 26th Annual American Society of Botanical Aritists International Exhibition.

I grew up on a cattle ranch. These paintings are based on cows from my father’s farm or cattle from my travels. Each original painting is a compilation of memory, several photographs, and some imagination and liberty with colours.
