I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a mixed media artist, career confidence coach, wife, mother, and creator of beautiful work.
I stumbled into this industry after a long and successful career as a civil engineer and project manager for large transit projects. This feels like a radical change from how I used to spend my days, but I can also see some influences in my work from my past life as an analytical problem-solver who loves math. Geometric patterns soothe my desire for symmetry, but I’m able to balance that out with the abstract nature of some of my less structured work. I enjoy working with a neutral colour palette of earth tones, while livening things up with some more vibrant splashes of colour.
My work gives me the freedom to express myself in a way my engineering career never did. So many years conforming to the way things have ‘always been done’ have now opened up to experimenting with a variety of mediums and then converting that into vector art and repeating patterns. And I think I’m only just beginning to explore all the creativity that is inside me!
Fun Facts About Me!
I’M AN ENNEAGRAM FIVE
Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. That rings true for me!
