Creative Roots

A season of healing. A brush with the divine. A return to the page.

There was a time I believed I had written my final story.

After self-publishing my first novel in 2006, and facing the familiar ache of agency rejection, I quietly laid my writing dreams to rest. Life, as it often does, intervened—grief took the shape of losing my grandmother, and chronic pain led me to leave my career. I was searching for light in the dark.

It found me in unexpected ways.

I picked up a paintbrush not to create, but to cope. Art became a lifeline. An intuitive, spiritual, wordless language that helped me move through pain and return to presence.

And then… others began to see what I had not: that this healing work held beauty and resonance.

My paintings found homes around the world.

I exhibited, sold my art, and became what I never set out to be—a professional artist.

In that time, I explored sacred themes: the divine feminine, archetypes, soul maps, and elemental cycles. Each piece was a prayer, a meditation, a mirror.

Selected Works: The Canada Legacy Series

Art as a vessel for remembrance, reconciliation, and national soul-searching.

At the heart of my artistic journey stands the Canada Legacy series—a collection born from deep reflection on the past, present, and future of our nation. This body of work emerged as both an offering and a reckoning: a desire to honour the diverse peoples and sacred stories woven through the land we call home.

Each painting reflects a spiritual intention and carries symbolic threads of identity, truth, and transformation.

“This series marked a turning point for me. It was where my voice as an artist fully stepped into purpose. I poured everything I had—ancestral longing, soul history, spiritual vision—into these pieces.”

The Canada Legacy series was created to mark Canada 150—not with celebration alone, but with soul-searching and acknowledgment. It honours our collective past and seeks a more inclusive, just, and compassionate vision of the future. Through sacred symbolism and intuitive storytelling, I sought to paint a deeper legacy—one carried not in history books, but in hearts.

Majestic and enduring. A cathedral carved by time and spirit.
