Funny how this has all turned out, but here I am, painting away and adding a lot more colour to the world than ever before. I love what I do and am very fortunate to have found a way to make a living from splashing paint around. Most of my work is done through private commissions and I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one with each of my clients to create unique, personal works of art for them. I take great pride in what I do and never consider a project finished until it meets my own high standards.

The images I create have a liveliness and humour that reflect my studies in classical animation and my endless love of children's books and storytelling. I try to capture the lighter side of life and to have fun with my ideas and subjects. One of these days I may grow up a bit, but when I'm absorbed in my work I'm just a big kid with an entirely oddball imagination. Lucky me!

I am the fortunate gal who paints murals on the walls at The Hospital for Sick Children. I can hardly put into words how excited I am to be part of this initiative, because I've seen first hand what a positive difference it makes to the hospital environment and the experience kids (and staff!) have while here. To see the face of a child light up when they round the corner, and stare in wonder and delight at the colourful scene before them, is priceless. I have always dreamed that my creative interests would help me enrich the lives of others and it gives me great pleasure to share my ideas and light-hearted designs with the world. And sharing them with kids in a hospital, those in most need of some cheer and a giggle or two, is wonderful.
