I was born in Vancouver and my life as an artist began at a very early age and I have always known that it is the only thing I have ever wanted to do.
As a child, I spent countless hours with a pencil or brush in my hand and it is the place where I feel most at home within myself and most free and unencumbered.
As I grew so did my love for writing I wrote my first book when I was around eight years old, and my passion for Children's publishing was born.
It has always been my dream to author and illustrate for children.
As an artist, I feel that I am responsible for sharing my perspective and providing people who view my art with a unique way to view the world.
I view life with an artist’s eye.
It is my focus to continue to develop my skills as an artist and to challenge myself to the best of my ability for the measure of an artist is not only in the quality of the work but in the quality of the artist creating it.
