About the artist: I have been a full time artist, specializing in animal portraiture, since my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer in July 2006. I was blessed to have been able to stay at home, painting the things I love, and care for my husband at the same time. We were so blessed as we had another four and a half years together. But on September 26, 2010, my incredible husband, Gary, lost his battle. My husband was always my inspiration as well as my most positive encourager. At first, I painted to pay the bills, but it became my passion very quickly. This is the legacy he left me. He was very proud of me, and though my art career was forged from tragedy, it is certainly the silver lining that he left me with.

My work has been collected around the world, from Australia , Europe and the U.S. to right here at home, in beautiful Canada. My dogs have gotten me through some very tough times, and I try to capture the essence of these incredible friends and healers in each piece I create.
