I am a Toronto based artist, illustrator, and author whose lifelong love of nature, animals, and creativity shapes every aspect of my work. A devoted mom of two, I have been painting, drawing, and creating since I was a little girl. From an early age, I discovered a deep joy in storytelling through art, and as I became a parent, that passion naturally grew into making rhymes with and for my children. These playful verses, paired with vibrant illustrations, became the foundation of my creative voice.

Nature walks have always been a cherished part of my life. As a dedicated dog lover and a friend to animals of all kinds, I find constant inspiration in the natural world. Long hikes through the woodlands of Ontario sparked the initial vision for my book, “Once Upon A Woodland Walk”. Immersed in forest trails, surrounded by wildlife, textures, and light, I began painting the creatures I had imagined to appear. Creating gentle, rhythmic rhymes to accompany each illustration felt like a natural next step, and soon the story flowed organically from my experiences outdoors.
