About me

A bit about me and the wild rodeo we call life! I was raised on the great prairies of Canada. From the age of 5, you could find me sketching the local wildlife and farmyard animals. Cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, muskrats, cats, dogs, I drew it all. At the age of 23, with just a suitcase in hand I moved to the UK to start a new crazy adventure as a classroom teacher. Since then I have worked in large corporations and gained great insight and expertise into how businesses work and how to enable and motivate people through creative leadership and development initiatives. Throughout it all I have remained a die hard creative and have continued to hone my artistic skills and offerings.

As I enter a new stage in life I am looking to branch out in a more creative way and partner with organisations and individuals to provide creative support with my artwork. I have done many commissions over the years, but would like to become more established and work with organisations on their current and future marketing and product visions via freelance and license work.
Having had many years in the corporate landscape, at a strategic level, I am used to running multiple projects, collaborating with numerous stakeholders and ensuring high quality outputs on time and within budget. I am a highly engaging and collaborative individual who learns new landscapes quickly and works to execute on the stakeholders vision.

I am proficient in the following mediums:
charcoal/pencil/pastels
watercolour
Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop

I am proficient in the creation of:
placement illustrations
repeat patterns for surface design needs
