​​I have always turned to nature when I needed grounding — to find perspective or to connect to something bigger and wiser than myself. Long before I picked up a brush, the natural world was already teaching me how to heal.

​

Years ago, a single phone call changed the direction of my life. A stranger's voice on a crisis line reflected back something I had never allowed myself to see. In that moment, I understood I had been living inside a story that wasn't mine to carry. It's a label I now wear with pride - survivor — not because of what happened, but because of everything I built after.

​​

What came after was nature.

Then paint.

Then the understanding that beauty doesn't exist in spite of change — it comes from it.

​

Each painting in this exhibition carries a chapter of that journey.

​

Beauty of Change

The first place in which I felt safe enough to be fully myself.

​

Reconnection

A piece I created after losing my mother; what I found when I was quiet enough to look.

​

Change in Perspective

A moment that brought me fully into the present and reminded me how far I had come.

​

Each piece carries a QR code linked to a narrated story — my voice, telling the moment it came from.

The painting is only half of it.  The other half is the feeling it evokes in you.

​

Not a collection of paintings,
but a living archive of what it means to come back to yourself.

Brewsmith Brewery — Bowness

Peaces of Me

May 11- June 11th,  2026​

This summer I'm bringing Peaces of Me to Brewsmith Brewery in the heart of Bowness — a neighbourhood that has always felt like home to me.

​

Three prints are on display, each paired with a QR code that unlocks the audio story behind the piece. Because sometimes a painting carries more than what you can see.

​

Prints and the full collection can be explored through my website. A portion of every sale from this exhibit supports FearIsNotLove — an organization close to my heart that I'm honoured to support through this showing.

I'll also be at Brewsmith on June 2nd from 6–8 p.m. for a casual meet-the-artist evening, and would love to see you there.

​

If you find yourself in Bowness, come in, have a pint, and stay awhile.
