One of my specialties is pet portraits. This one was just delivered to its client and she loved it so much she literally wept! Its a memorial portrait of her beloved boy. It feels good to bring love and joy to people through art. #petportraits #commissionedpainting #artistlife #artistsofbluesky

This is another of my paintings- it brings a calmness and serenity to its space… this may just be the focal point for the vibe you desire. To order this print (different sizes available), simply send me a direct message or email. #shoplocal #roomrefresh #art #artistsofbluesky #serenity

This is one of my darker paintings. You may be used to my super colourful and bright pieces, however sometimes the mood strikes to create something a little more mysterious! #mysterious #halloween #cat #darkart #art #artist #artforsalebyartist #artistlife

This was me last weekend at my very first craft market. Getting my artwork “out there” is a work-in-progress, so very appropriate for #workinprogresswednesday! #wip #wipwednesday #artist #artistlife #artistsofbluesky #blueskyart

#nature is my #teacher #lessons #forests #rivers
Lessons from forests 
-grow slowly, but deeply
-not everything needs sunlight to begin
-strength can be quiet
-stand tall, even in stillness
-let go, season after season
- you are allowed to take up spacelessons from rivers:
- keep moving, even when the path curves
- you don't have to rush to arrive
- flow around what resists you
- let go, as often as needed
- softness can carve tis own way
- trust the direction you're unfolding into

There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. So see yourself as wish to be and continually grow in that direction. This is the the key to self love and loving your life! 💚🐛🦋 #fate #controllingyourfate #developing #positivemindset #transformation

Nature bathing at Inverness Falls in Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada. We are staying in a secluded forest chalet. There is nothing more refreshing and rejuvenating than time in nature! #nature #Naturebathing #rejuvenation #Manitoba #Canada #secluded #lake #forest
A slow moving river lined with various large rocks, mostly granite - backdropped by a lush green deciduous forestBrereton Lake’s edge with small bolders and a bit of a sandy beach.  The area is very foliated with thick shrubbery and trees.A look along the empty beach this afternoon.  Calm waters in the bay.A root in the forest, shaped like a chicken’s foot, wrapped around a small boulder on the forest floor.  Between the root’s “claws” there is a lush green moss.

A collage of my artwork with this message: How did I become an artist?  I just started creating!  I had no plan to become anything.  I just let what was in me flow out and it came out in colour!

I create to stay rooted. Nature’s shapes, shadows, and rhythms guide my hand, whether I’m painting digitally or working with traditional tools. After becoming chronically ill, art became a lifeline—something steady, expressive, and healing. Creating helps me transform pain into beauty and stillness into meaning. It’s how I process, how I breathe, and how I stay connected to myself.
