Artist Statement
I am a mixed media artist based in Prince George, Canada. The primary canvas I enjoy is the artist tile postcard. I work hard to produce original mixed media postcards that are handcrafted with love and care. My goals are to build something that matters, make things better, and to serve the global postcard community. My best work is usually the result of trying something new. Making postcards helps me stay in the moment, have fun, and bring joy into the world. I look forward to growing as an artist while fostering community and connection. I hope you enjoy my handmade marks!
