Artist Statement:
Born and raised in Wales and now based in British Columbia, Canada, I have been working as a professional artist for over 20 years. My paintings hang in private collections in more than 20 countries around the world.
Art is my lifeline. Painting gives me a way to express what words often cannot, and it continues to bring me joy, grounding, and purpose. Nature has always been my greatest inspiration — from blossom trees and birds to forests, changing seasons, and quiet moments of beauty in the landscape.
My mission is to create paintings that bring joy. I want my work to do more than decorate a wall — I hope it brings warmth, light, beauty, and feeling into a space, and creates a sense of connection for the person living with it.

Artistic Influences:
My hardship has made me deeply committed to my art. So much negativity is being bombarded on us via the news and media. I want my art to bring positivity and light to people's lives. There are several people in my life without them believing in me before I could visualize myself as a professional artist. Some famous artists inspire me; Ruben, Picasso, Vincent, and Klimt are amongst my favourites.
