I have been painting 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.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eNature 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 artwork felt like a natural next step, and soon the story flowed organically from my experiences outdoors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep into a forest where golden leaves drift and every path leads to a new discovery.
