Check out my latest pastel artwork… something a little different! 🎨✨
It’s titled “There is One in Every Family.” 🐑
This is a triptych pastel painting of a Valais Blacknose sheep—an idea inspired by a loved one that was so much fun to bring to life. I’m loving how the three panels work together to expand the landscape, while keeping that one main-character sheep staring right at the viewer! 👁️🌾

I’d love to hear your feedback:
1️⃣ What are your thoughts on the triptych (three-panel) format?
2️⃣ More importantly… what caption would you give that sheep’s expression? 💬
Let me know in the comments below! 👇

Meet “Lulu”, a recent cat pet portrait commission completed as a fundraiser for Womancare Pregnancy Centre earlier this year. The portrait, a 10” x 10” size, is completed using pastel.

I love bringing pets and animals to life on paper, capturing every detail—from the realistic depth and soul in their eyes to the soft texture of their fur—to truly honor the unique spirit of your beloved companion.

I am currently taking bookings for fall and winter commissions. I only complete 2-3 a year, so book now, especially if you want it completed for Christmas. Head to my website for more information.

Unveiling my newest piece, #11 in my “Wild Attitudes” wildlife series of a red panda. “Afternoon Nap”, 11” x 14” pastel, will be exhibited during this year’s Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Art Studio Tour on May 9 & 10 from 10am - 4pm. It will be available as an original, prints, and art cards.

This pastel piece was such a joy to create … I love the dramatic lighting, rich colours, and bokeh background. 😁. I’d love for you to come and check it out in person. I will be sharing my artwork at the South Bonson Community Centre in Pitt Meadows.

Starting 2026 by sharing my art from the past year. It’s been a busy year for commissioned work (I schedule commissions to spread throughout the year). A huge thank you to all my wonderful clients for your support and trust in me as an artist.

I feel so grateful that I can sit here planning for another year ahead full of art, doing what I love and it’s all thanks to you beautiful people.
