Celebrating: Exhibiting Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists
New Milestone: Exhibiting Member status from the Federation of Canadian Artists
I'm thrilled to announce that I’ve officially been awarded an Exhibiting Member status The Federation of Canadian Artists — a wonderful community celebrating and supporting the vibrant art scene here in Canada. As a full-time freelance illustrator specializing in botanical and watercolor illustration for books, packaging, and editorial work, I’m always striving to grow as an artist, refine my craft, and connect with a community that values nature, beauty, and artistic integrity.
What Is the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA)?
The Federation of Canadian Artists is a vibrant community that supports artists across Canada by fostering creative growth, offering exhibition opportunities, and celebrating artistic excellence. Becoming an Exhibiting Member is an honor I’m especially proud of, as it required going through a juried process to have my work reviewed and accepted by established members of the organization.
Being part of the FCA gives me the chance to connect with fellow artists who are passionate about their craft, share knowledge, and celebrate the rich and diverse beauty of Canadian art.
Why This Matters for My Illustration Clients
Achieving Exhibiting Member status reflects my ongoing commitment to professionalism and excellence in watercolor. My clients—publishers, packaging designers, brands, and creative directors—can trust that they’re working with an illustrator who values:
Artistic credibility and recognition within a respected professional community
A deep understanding of traditional and contemporary painting techniques
Continuous growth through exhibitions, peer feedback, and creative exploration
Whether I’m painting a medicinal plant for an educational book, illustrating food for packaging, or creating custom botanical art for a client’s brand, my work is always guided by a dedication to storytelling, nature-inspired beauty, and meticulous watercolor technique.
