Picture this: in a cozy studio in suburbs of Toronto , sunlight filters through the windows, casting playful shadows across jars of resin, delicate watercolor palettes, and shimmering alcohol inks. The air hums with creativity, the scent of fresh flowers mingling with the faint tang of paint. This is where my artistic heart finds its home—a space alive with color, texture, and endless possibility.

My artist’s journey began long ago, exploring and experimenting with different mediums to bring my imagination to life. During the pandemic, watercolors became a new love—a medium that felt both soothing and challenging, allowing me to express the beauty I see in everyday life, especially in flowers, which have always been my greatest inspiration. Whether painting their delicate petals or simply enjoying their presence in my home, flowers are my constant muse.

Beyond my art, I’ve spent over two decades working at my local library, a place that feels like an extension of my creative spirit. It’s a haven for curiosity and connection, where I’ve built meaningful relationships and shared in the joy of discovery with others. While I once studied math and statistics in university, my heart led me down this path of creativity and community instead.

When I’m not in my studio or at the library, you’ll often find me with headphones on, diving into podcasts about tech and financial investing—two topics that keep my curious mind buzzing. My auburn curls, styled in a fun bob, reflect my bubbly personality, which shines through in everything I do. My life is a blend of color, warmth, and vibrancy, and I love sharing it with the world through my art and the relationships I treasure.
