Artist: I paint Haida and Cree Aboriginal art in abstract, watercolour and oil paintings. Also landscapes, and paintings on natural canvas such as shells, driftwood, and rocks. My inspirations and ideas come from a life filled with drama, and a diverse and difficult childhood, but also full of love; extensive travel, living in different countries and experiencing new and exciting adventures.
