About me…

“More freedom to paint how I feel!”

The old Pendray House - I am grateful to have this idyllic venue to create from. This building, circa 1927, has served as many establishments in the past, including the old Coast Collective Arts Collective.

I respectfully acknowledge this as the unceded land of the Lekwungen speaking Peoples, of the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, where I have the priveledge to live, create and play.
