About Me
EXPERIENCE
I have been painting with watercolours for about 12 years. I have learned primarily through workshops, reading and practice. My greatest love is to travel within and outside of Saskatchewan to paint on location. I have moved around Saskatchewan during my lifetime, so have an appreciation for its diverse landscapes. I am currently located in the northeast which is a mix of farmland and boreal forest. I often seek out water as a subject of my paintings, and most often use the water from my scene to do the painting.

About My Watercolour Paintings
Original Watercolours
These paintings are not prints. They are one of a kind original watercolour paintings. Even when I paint a series of the same subject, each one is different. Many paintings are done en plain air (painted on location) and to me these have a special quality and a rawness to them that does not occur in studio work. Some paintings are "inspired by plain air" which means they were developed in the studio from a plain air sketch.
Artist Quality Materials
My paintings are created using top quality paints from Daniel Smith, Winsor Newton and QoR. Paper is 100% cotton rag Arches, Fabriano Artistic, Saunders- Waterford or Indigo Handmade.
Pricing
Basic pricing is based on size. Paintings where "the magic happens" are also priced accordingly. Additional costs are added for mounting or framing. Mailing costs are also extra.
