Contemporary art inspired by plants and landscapes I am an emerging artist located in Nanaimo, BC, Canada. I use color, shape and texture to express emotion.

I create layers of texture using acrylic paint, palette knife, brushstroke, sand and household materials. Over this I add contrasting features such as gold highlights, intricate line work, or soft botanicals in an expressionist style. After years of bold performance art where my body and background were the canvases, I experienced hearing loss in my late twenties. This led me back to 2D art with a heightened focus on the visual and tactile senses. My work offers uplifting energy to engage the mind and promote wellbeing through reflection. Themes are transformation, the power of shifts in perspective, and healing through contemplation in nature. Influences include expressionism, botanical illustration and kintsugi.

I'm leading a free webinar on April 24: "Communicating Respect for People with Diverse Abilities in a Therapeutic Setting".

Presented by the Florida Horticulture for Health Network (FLHHN), the recording will also be available on Youtube afterward.

This talk is tailored for therapeutic settings, however I will offer a variety of tools and perspectives that will benefit anyone who wants to connect beyond perceived boundaries of otherness. As you may already know, I facilitate therapeutic activities in my day job within long-term care. I will continue to integrate art, plants, and health in my creative and professional projects.

"Learn communication strategies for people with diverse abilities, led by a healthcare worker with thirteen years of experience working directly with complex care residents. By gaining sensitivity to the challenges experienced by people living with cognitive and physical differences, the HT/TH professional can deliver more effective programs, increase engagement, and uphold the dignity of individuals.

We will discuss a wide range of topics including: hearing and vision impairment, nonverbal communication, developmental disabilities, dementia, stroke, brain injury, mental health, and special populations. Additionally, we will discuss keeping ourselves safe with violence prevention, de-escalation, and personal grounding techniques."

Collaborative painting made by 86 long-term care residents, facilitated over several small group and 1:1 sessions. The title, by vote, is "Community Garden".

3 ft x 3 ft canvas, using paper and sand for texture.

This type of work brings me deep fulfillment. Many people felt hesitant, saying "I'm not an artist" or "I don't want to wreck it". But they trusted me and gave it a try. Others couldn't wait to jump in- they just needed an opportunity to let loose.

Many of them don’t remember participating, but they can be told, “You helped make that!” bringing a sense of pride and belonging. Shared experiences bring a bond.

For those of us who remain after they pass on, it is priceless to have a physical token of their legacy.
