Artist Statement
I work in watercolour and ink, using the line and wash method. As my writing is generally quite heavy, my painting always leans towards the happy, cozy moments of every day life, just to keep things balanced. I paint on high grain, hot-pressed cotton paper whenever and wherever I can. I first found my style while living in the Irish countryside and it has carried me through many collections. Human-made art is very important to me so I also hand paint all the frames.
Biography
I am a watercolour artist and weird girl fiction writer based in Vancouver, BC. I’m currently on day 250 of a daily painting project, and I run a monthly short story club where I write and bind all of my work. I sell my artwork and writing at local markets, and I also teach watercolour workshops. I am always working to expand my artistic repertoire and you can often find me in a variety of classes from silversmithing to Japanese book-binding.
Aside from my work, I spend most of my time with my dog and husband, reading weird literary fiction novels and playing on my rec dodgeball team.
I have a background in theatre, film and hospitality. I’ve always been passionate about creating in any medium, but watercolour has been my focus for the past several years.
