These hand-painted ornaments are inspired by the flora and fauna of southern Vancouver Island. Each year, a few new designs are created in small batches of 5-10. Every ornament is individually cut, sanded, and painted by hand, with evolving subjects based on the imagery that inspires me.
Most ornaments retain their natural live edge, while a select few are fully painted, featuring additional details along the sides.
The Moonlit Series showcases landscapes in rich shades of medium to dark blue, depicting forest and ocean scenes, with occasional glimpses of the aurora borealis. The First Light Series shares a similar style but features lighter shades of blue with soft touches of pink, evoking the gentle hues of dawn.

Each of these wood-burned pieces is created freehand, from large and small ornaments to magnets and keychains. Every design is sketched directly onto the wood slice and then burned using a fine-tip pyrography tool.
Fascinated by the beautiful natural rings in the wood, I began incorporating radial patterns of dashes into my designs—a technique that later influenced my paintings as well! Over time, my subjects have ranged from animals and fungi to forest and ocean scenes, with some pieces featuring added touches of paint for extra depth and detail.
