We’re on month two of basement renos, and things are getting real! After discovering some serious high points in the concrete, I’ve been rethinking everything from floor color to lighting.

My underwater paintings are on display at the Leduc Civic Centre until the end of October 2025. While my home studio is under renovation, it’s been wonderful to share my art in a public space where the community can pause, reflect, and enjoy the calm beauty of water-inspired work.
