CANADIAN ENCAUSTIC ARTIST

I have over 35+ years experience as an artist, designer, information architect and user experience specialist.

I have been lucky to work in senior creative roles for several large design agencies and corporations. I lived and worked in the UK for five years and participated in large international projects in the UK, Europe and Africa. I completely embrace the concept of life-long learning and pushing my creative boundaries.

Art is what keeps me sane and feeling true to my creative nature. I am always working on new pieces and finding audiences for my work in galleries and social media.

My love of art and design have set the tone for my life. I continue to challenge myself creatively with new mediums and techniques. I have also developed a passion for inclusive, accessible design, which I think will be my focus until the end of my career.

CREATIVE COACHING

Over the years, I’ve worked with creative people at all stages of their journey — from emerging artists to experienced designers — and one thing I’ve learned is this: everyone gets stuck sometimes.

That’s why I’ve launched From Stuck to Studio, a personalized coaching service for artists and designers who are feeling blocked, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next.

Whether you’re refining your portfolio, reconnecting with your creative voice, or navigating a career shift, this service is here to support you with clarity, encouragement, and practical direction.

ART EXPLORATIONS

I primarily in work in encaustic wax. I strive to use this ancient medium, manipulated with heat, to create paintings which explore movement, emotion, and modern human themes. These textural, often multi-panel works are intensely colourful, usually abstract, with hints of the known. I continue to explore how to fuse the familiar with the surreal in on-going studies and series.

INCLUSIVE DESIGN

Art is my first love, with design being a close second. I have a deep interest in designing digital user experiences that are inclusive for all audiences. I am inspired by emerging technologies that allow me to combine great design with accessible user experiences.

My partner and I share a consultancy helping small companies develop their online web experience and business development.
