Artist. Writer. Creative.

Greetings traveller, you’ve found your way to my newsletter.

I’m a fine art painter, digital illustrator, writer and creativity coach based in the prairie city of Calgary, Canada. Trained as an animator and employed for many years as a web developer and digital marketer, my journey to becoming a self-taught digital and acrylic painter has been a long and winding one.

Over the years, however, art has become my passion, my mental health practice and my way to shift society’s ill-fitting narrative around disability.

Why subscribe to my newsletter?

  • Receive updates about my current projects like my new paintings and work on my novel

  • Get a look behind the curtain at my creative process

  • See all the beautiful photos of my life in Calgary that inspire my paintings

  • Read about my trials and tribulations as a disabled artist and creative entrepreneur

  • Learn about the newest original paintings and art-related products when they go up in my online store

Due to the whims and algorithms of the social media rat race, this newsletter is by far your best way to see everything I’m up to. I hope you’ll come along for the ride!
