I am visual artist currently based in Toronto. Though I have studied and painted for many years I've been an artist my entire life. My story as my works are varied: realism and impressionism in different mediums like oil, acrylic, watercolor and charcoal. My culture, experience, and education allow me to create and express different ideas.

Every place and every scene in my life inspire me to create new work. My works reflect warmth, affection, and energy which I see and feel in everything around me. My work is based on painting color relationships, values, composition and creates brush strokes.

In my work, I often express my passionate love for nature, flowers, still life, portrait and figure. I spend a great deal of time searching for images and their meanings and then try to reflect their beauty in my work. My paintings are the product of inspiration generated by place and experience; filtered through time and memory.

I’m an elected member of the Color and Form Society and a signature member of Toronto Watercolor Society, Society of Canadian Artist, North York Visual Artist and Newmarket Group of Artist. I have participated in several juried exhibitions in Canada and I have been honored to receive the Toronto Watercolor Society Signature and Silver award. My work is collected privately in the galleries and I have been a part of multiple group shows, as well as a solo exhibition in Toronto for a couple of years. I’m also instructor of painting in group and private studios in Newmarket and Toronto and now I have an In-person and virtual workshops and classes.
