Born in Vancouver and raised on Salt Spring Island, I have spent most of my life exploring, drawing, and painting on the beautiful West Coast. My studio, RavenHart, takes its name from the frequent wild visitors who could be seen from my cozy little painting space.
With my photographs, I seek to illuminate the intricate and often overlooked small details of nature, while my paintings are a celebration of the dramatic skies and lush landscapes of BC. I look to capture a quiet beauty and playfulness in many of my subjects, human and otherwise.
Mostly self-taught, the inspiration for my art comes from my active outdoor lifestyle and lifelong love of the natural world. From kayaking through the Southern Gulf Islands to hiking the peaks of the Coast Mountains, there’s always something magical waiting to be discovered!
My newest adventures centre around raising my young son. A very active and curious kid, his sense of adventure and love of nature arrived fully formed!
I acknowledge with gratitude that I am creating art & raising a family while living in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples.
I encourage you to learn more about the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and how you can help your local, provincial, & federal representatives implement the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action.
