"I believe much of life’s beauty is in the unique details and moments of everyday life that require our intention and gratitude to notice." ~ Brandi

​

Now calling New Westminster home, I was born in Victoria BC and lived all across Canada while growing up, providing me with a great appreciation for all of Canada’s natural spaces. As a nature & bird enthusiast, my inspiration comes from what I see around me every day; trees/flowers/birds/animals, as well as people, community and kindness.

​

I am a representational artist, generally working in realism as I find it perfectly suited to convey my intrigue in the details of texture, light and shadow. I specialize in the mediums of graphite, charcoal, pen & ink, and watercolor. Capturing both detail and emotion, my work focuses on nature inspired art, portraits and pet portraits, conveying both the universal and unique elements of expression, personality and mood.

​

I am also a drawing instructor, who encourages creativity in all life stages as a means of connecting more deeply with ourselves, others, and the world we live in. I believe we are all artists inside, we sometimes just need a little reminder of how to let that artist out.

​

​Through my work I strive to observe, to see life slowly, and intentionally, and to express my gratitude for this moment in space that I get to occupy.
