About Me

My photo
North Bay, Ontario, Canada
I grew up in Nova Scotia, surrounded by beautiful beaches, salty breezes, and folk art! Now I live in North Bay Ontario - I'm a Special Education teacher by day, and I spend my evenings and weekends in my little home studio painting anything I can get my hands on!

Painted Furniture

I just started experimenting with bigger canvases - this is an old wooden stool that I've re-invented with some quirky birdhouses hanging from a whimsical tree. 

You can find this stool at Cribz in North Bay!

Painted Trinkets and Treasures

Here are some treasures that I've rescued from thrift shops and yard sales -
I've upcycled them by painting them in my quirky style.
I'm also in love with tiny canvases - Mr. Fox is so cute in miniature!
