I started painting in December 2021 to give myself a pandemic outlet and was shocked to discover that painting portraits was a passion just waiting to be unleashed. From Day 1 of picking up a brush, I’ve shared my creative journey on social media in the hopes that it might inspire others to discover new ways to express themselves without fear of judgment (internal or external). I began to receive offers to buy my paintings and decided that it was an opportunity to do some good with my work. So, I agreed to sell them – but only in exchange for a minumum $250 donation to an inclusive charity. Thus ‘Portrait for Good’ was born.
To date I’ve raised thousands for charities supporting cancer research, Black community and justice issues, Indigenous Canadians, LGBTQ+, and more. My paintings have been shipped across Canada, USA and Europe and my greatest desire is to continue to do good with this new passion.
