F is for failure—the good kind!

Golden yellow hand signing ASL "F" against lilac and eggplant.

Artistic failures are just discoveries waiting to happen. My Confessions of a Chromaphobe series celebrates pushing past safe territory.

E is for Electric

Green hand signing ASL "E" against bright red—my audiogram turned into pure optical vibration. When contrasting colours share the same value, they create visual electricity that makes your eyes dance.

"D" is for daring colour choices
Cyan hand signing ASL letter "D" against bright and burnt orange—my audiogram graphic turned into the boldest colour combo yet.

My Confessions of a Chromaphobe series keeps pushing boundaries.

A, B, C—the alphabet just got a color makeover ✋

My Confessions of a Chromaphobe series gives each ASL letter its own bold color personality.

Each painting features my audiogram as the backdrop. Hearing loss has its own visual language too.

When I lived in the Cariboo, I frequently come across the migration of the woodland caribou and I must hav hundreds of photos of them, hoping that one day I’d be brave to paint them.
