Great Blue Heron
Camping has been a part of my life ever since my parents introduced me to it as a kid, and it’s a tradition I’ve carried on with my own children. One of my favorite moments on the hiking trails is spotting the Great Blue Heron. It’s such a joy to draw, from the bright colours…
Blue Tit
I love Spring! Springtime brings with it a sense of renewal and awakening. The air is crisp, the earth begins to come alive with vibrant colours, and I especially love waking up to nature’s alarm clock-a symphony of chirping birds. What better way to celebrate Spring as an artist than to capture the essence of…
Chickadee
Drawing a chickadee was an absolute delight! While it appears mainly black and white at first glance, there’s a hidden spectrum of colors within.

Blue Jay
We all know that I love to draw fur: long fur, short fur, curly fur and straight fur, I love drawing fur. For this project however, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new…feathers. So glad I did, as pushing yourself out of the comfort zone allows you to learn…
Duckling
What does one do when the world is on lockdown? Try something new of course. I did a lot of experimenting over the pandemic. Tried new brands of coloured pencils, yes, they all have unique properties. Plus, it’s a good excuse to add to my ever expanding collection of coloured pencils. ;) I experimented on…
