She is a fulltime artist “enthralled” by painting and “its power of seduction”. Her tools are oil and acrylic, pallet knives and brushes, as well as “the essential paper towel”, which add to her curiosity to explore and to distill what is perceived and what is felt “during this journey through life”.Her interest in visual arts started with photography at the Ontario College of Art and Design, during which time she also worked in a graphic design company. In the following years, “an exciting opportunity” to become a dancer and choreographer presented itself, a career that was to last more than a decade.After several years of study and an inability to resist “the attraction of the blank canvas”, she decided to devote herself fully to painting… Her work was opened up to collectors in 2014. She defines herself as a figurative painter who looks for her source of inspiration in the human figure. “More than logic or reason, I want to express feelings.”
