My good friend BlackBoneBunny loves crows, so I painted her as the Queen of Crows.

If you were a queen or king, what would be the symbol on your card?

Old comics are so much fun to parody. Sometimes I invent covers of old comics that never existed.

If all transit was underground, cities would be encompassed by forests and wildlife.

I think it would be a very nice place to live.

"Her Secret Beach" was painted in 2022.

It's strange to revisit artwork created during the Pandemic. It feels so far away now.

"The Purple Princess" was painted in 2019.

I used a lot of Sakura pens to create this work. I'm a huge fan of their Gelly Roll pens.

The Strait of Georgia is located off the west coast of Vancouver, wrapping its way through the Gulf Islands and flanking the southern coast of Vancouver Island.

It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Rogue Cow in a City Park

This is a mixed media painting on cold press paper. Gradients were created using a variety of water-based inks and shellacs. Fluid acrylic was then applied to create lighting effects.

This is the cover page of my new pictorial "What is Left Behind" for MARIKA Magazine

When I camp or hike, I sometimes discover the artifacts of those who walked the trail prior to me.

Coffee refreshes so that's what I painted.

Shout out to coffee. Tell your mother I said what's up.

One of my favourite thing to paint are trees. They have such luminescent spirits.

There were only crows awake before the dawn, exploring the world for food and hidden treasures.

This is a mixed media painting that relies heavily on the use of inks. My favourite inks to paint with are made by HERBIN or Sennelier.

I painted an apple tree because I love apples.

If you love something, art is a great way to celebrate it.

Today's painting is a quiet morning at the cottage.

My hope is people can imagine themselves in these imaginary places, and enjoy a moment of reprieve.
