In my home on the Sunshine Coast in the Pacific Northwest I am surrounded by nature and ever-present to an overwhelming sense of expanse.

Originally from Europe, I never have experienced this before. Every single day, I am aware of true greatness, openness and beauty when I view the ocean and North Shore Mountains, or on my kayak trips and daily runs through the West Coast rainforest.

This natural expanse creates serenity in me, Expanse Within, the space I need from the busyness of life to find myself.

My inspiration to paint this series was born out of a belief that I have the opportunity to share this space with you through my art.
