Day to day life can be hard but through my art, I try to capture my idea of beauty, whimsy, and happiness while throwing in a bit of my quirkiness and a Big pinch of Joy. Although I am a multi-media artist using oil, acrylic, watercolour, encaustic and sculpture, my current body of work has been mainly focused on the use of Encaustic. My paintings use bright colours with soft shapes, many pieces use circles to symbolize the completeness of life. I paint using beeswax that has been collected from my own beehives and this in itself contributes to the feeling I want to portray of the goodness, wholesome, natural beauty of this world. Art and life coming full circle. Call and book an appointment to view the art at 416-788-9332.
