mixed media and photography

My longtime love of Mother Nature has always intrigued and inspired me to look deeper into her beauty through photography and creating unique one of a kind mixed media pieces.

I create unique pieces of art using photography and mixed media. Mother Nature has always inspired me to look deeper into the beauty of her designs, beyond what meets the eye. In my mixed media art pieces I reuse and incorporate found objects along with vibrant colours when designing. With my photography I am led to take photographs in the moment capturing the beauty and essence of the object without enhancements. My commissioned one of a kind Dream Catchers evolve in much the same way however I add my ancestral Ojibwa Grandmother (Nokomis) teachings. I have learned to trust and let an idea take me where it wants to go, allowing me to dream and work every piece into its own unique creation. I recently took part in my first Juried Art Show in Whitby titled “Feelings” with my photograph.Art Exhibition titled “Feelings”.
