Hi, I’m Patty.
Welcome…
Come as you are — this is a space for opening your heart and shifting how you see.
I'm a devoted creative, intuitive guide, and mentor. If you've been craving a little more room to breathe, to slow down, to hear your own voice again — that's exactly what I try to offer here.
I remember it clearly, the scent of wax and paper, the thrill of possibility. I was six when my grandmother came from New York to visit us in San Rafael, California, carrying a simple box of oil pastels that felt like treasure. I still have them.
That moment never really left me.
Standing before a blank canvas today, selecting colors in the studio, I feel the same quiet anticipation. That sense of possibility, curiosity, and something waiting to be discovered.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I later moved to Vancouver, BC, Canada with my Canadian husband. The plan was five years before returning to California. Needless to say, we’re still here along with adult children, grandsons and dogs!
Today I live and work overlooking Ganges Inlet from our cottage home and studio on Salt Spring Island.
Nature is woven into my daily life. The tides, shifting light, seasons, and quiet rhythms continually shape my work and the way I move through the world.
When I'm not redirecting our spirited lab, Oski, you'll find me in the garden by the ocean, paint-spattered in the studio, or walking forest trails for quiet.
I'm here to see, to feel what's true beneath the surface, and to guide from there.
Calling myself an artist was the beginning. Years in the studio led to a residency at the Vermont Studio Center and gallery representation. From the inside, though, some perfectionism and anxiety were running the show.
So I slowed down. I learned to honor my energy instead of pushing through: that meditation sharpens insight, boundaries open up creativity, and sensitivity is wisdom.
Intuitive process painting reopened my joy. I stopped forcing and started responding. Training in Reiki, Pranic Healing, Energetic NLP, and psychic development deepened my trust in intuitive guidance simply waiting to be connected with.
Now I guide women back to themselves: trusting their intuition, honoring their energy, creating from alignment instead of pressure.
These sessions are for raising your vibe and attuning to your inner guidance.
When you’re ready, I guide you into your own energy gently illuminating patterns, protections, and emotional imprints that may be ready to shift.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is fixed.
Through meditative awareness and focused attention on your energy centers, dense or outdated layers can soften and release. Your inner guidance becomes clearer. Your system recalibrates.
I don’t heal you.
I help you recognize your own wisdom.
From there, well-being unfolds naturally.
The healing sessions will bring your system into alignment. In a 70-minute or 30-minute session we’ll connect spirit to spirit and work with a blend of healing energies. Using chakra activations, aura readings, and channeled messaging, we’ll identify and release energetic blocks to help you reclaim your innate power.
Welcoming you to connect with me to learn more!
My paintings are inner landscapes. Painting boldly heals that introverted girl who stayed quiet while others took center stage. The studio allows me freedom to fully express.
The act of creation is more than making a pretty picture. It’s a way to play with the edge of confines. To embrace messes while creating space for them to simply be what they are. To shout in joy with no bounds. To move with trees, flowers, wind and ocean.
Each painting holds not only a lived experience but also my essence. The quick wit that catches someone off guard. The deep dive heart to heart chats. The frustration of self-imposed limits and the drive to change them. Down on the ground, getting dirty, playing with our dog, Oski. Meditating into the spacious undercurrent running through my ordinary life. Nothing is formulaic. Each piece unfolds in its own rhythm.
My practice is rooted in attentive presence. I work through intuition and energetic awareness. I’m devoted to depth, integrity, and effortless expression. Which means working fast. Or slowing down, not knowing what's next. Taking space.
My paintings are held in private collections internationally, following representation in Canada and the United States. Today, I paint from my oceanfront studio on Salt Spring Island, BC.
Alongside my studio work, I guide others in cultivating creative trust and emotional clarity.
