The world is full of beauty. Whether it’s a flash of color, a brush of texture, or light spilling across an open landscape, there is so much around me that inspires me to paint. Art is part of who I am. It’s how I see the world. Hidden Daisy Fine Art Studio is the expression of my desire to create beautiful art. It’s a place where others can learn to capture the beauty around them through their own art. Hidden Daisy is all about creating and capturing—one painting at a time.
A large part of who I am is defined by my desire for capturing beauty through art. A classically trained artist, I graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a Bachelor's Degree in Commercial Art, and a Master's Degree in Commercial Art, and a member of the Ottawa Art Association. An American by birth, I moved to Canada with my husband and have settled in Embrun to raise my three beautiful children, paint, and share my passion for art.
When I was young, my mother gave me a beautiful daisy necklace, which I have kept all these years and wear to this day! From the very first time I saw this charming little flower, I've been captivated by it ever since. I decorate with daisies, wear daisies, paint daisies, and even named my art studio after them. But why call my studio Hidden Daisy? Great question! Each and every painting I create is special, not just for who it's for or what it captures, but also for what it contains. If you look closely, hidden somewhere in each of my paintings is a hidden daisy waiting to be discovered.
