    Short BiographyCurrently I reside in Parksville where the Vancouver Island landscapes invite me to capture the essence of its beauty in my artworks. Each day is a sensory adventure—translating the rustle of leaves, the dance of colors, beaches, ocean views, forests and the ever-present textures of the natural world onto my canvas.
