As a realistic pencil artist, I am passionate about capturing the intricate details and spirit of my subjects, bringing them to life through precision and patience. Through careful observation and a deep understanding of light, texture, and form, I strive to create drawings that feel alive, as if they could step off the page at any moment.

My work is driven by a desire to reveal the beauty and emotion in everyday moments, transforming simple pencil strokes into vivid, lifelike representations. Each piece is a celebration of patience and dedication, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the quiet power of realism.

Learn From A Professional Artist With
Over 30 Years Experience!

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, beginning as soon as I could hold a pencil. Since 1999, I have taught art classes for children and teens, and in 2003, I developed Canada’s first online drawing courses offered through continuing education in community colleges. Over the past 20 years, I have served as a facilitator with OntarioLearn, teaching pencil and coloured pencil courses at more than 12 colleges across Ontario.
