Welcome to my online studio and shop. I'm an artist, diver and instructor (in creativity and in scubadiving). I make art for divers and water lovers to enjoy when they can't be in the water.
I'm included in a fascinating article "Protecting Nayaano Nibiimaang Gichigamiin" written by Canadian Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Jill Heinerth. It's about the Great Lakes watershed and highlights the journey along the lakes and its influence on the people living near it! I'm so fortunate to be able to enjoy the great lakes on and under the water.
In an interview with X-Ray magazine's Gunild Syme, I'm able to sit and actually reflect on the journey of becoming a diver and artist - a journey that's been intertwined but being able to look back by speaking about my art and seeing it arranged as they've done so, gives me perspective and is very gratifying for me as an artist. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my motivations, why I paint and what it's been like capturing the world underwater for me.Â
There are so many reasons to become a scuba diver. If you love discovering new places, meeting people from all walks of life, want to experience the rewards of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, want to strengthen yourself mentally and physically, enjoy the connection to nature and the sense of community, diving is an incredible activity to achieve all of this and more.
