HAVE YOU ALWAYS CONSIDERED YOURSELF AN ARTIST?

Always. My whole life. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Since I was little girl, I loved to draw princesses, flowers and all that is beautiful.

HOW HAS YOUR WORK EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS?

I went from painting portraits to photographing them. Changing from paintbrush to camera. From there I started drawing and painting in Photoshop.

WHAT DOES YOUR ART REPRESENT? WHAT STORY ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL THROUGH YOUR WORK?

Photography is like therapy. I love to capture and bring out the best in people and making them feel great about themselves, every face tells a story. I must admit that I am a perfectionist when it comes to editing. It makes satisfying the pickiest of clients a pleasure.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT ARTIST?

Talent is 5% Work Ethic 95%

You can learn but without the work ethic you won’t succeed. Always follow your passion, listen to your heart, and never give up. You must have perseverance.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE OF WORK YOU CREATED?

My Hazel McCallion legacy portrait. Hazel is the most remarkable person I have ever met, and it was an honor to be commissioned to do her portrait. Hazel lived to 102 years old and was as vibrant as the day we met.
