Welcome!
I am a Western artist whose work reflects the rhythms of farm and ranch life, with a focus on livestock and wildlife in both portraits and landscapes. Growing up on a farm on the prairies, I draw inspiration from the daily life of the land. Cattle in the pasture, wildlife on the horizon, and the quiet beauty of open skies are what inspire me to paint.
I love using bold brushstrokes and lost-and-found edges to create movement and focus. I strive to use a range of color, from gentle pastels to deep, saturated hues, to capture the shifting moods of the prairie.
Each painting is both a reflection of my roots and an invitation for viewers to experience the grit, beauty, challenges, and nostalgia of rural living.
You can find several of my pieces displayed and for sale at Ball Family Dental, in Killam, Alberta.
I am blessed to be a wife, and a Mom to two kiddos. I couldn't ask for more.
