About

My name is Ursula, and I’m a self-taught artist and mom to three busy teenagers. We live on a ranch near Irvine, Alberta. When I’m not in my studio, you’ll likely find me shuttling kids between hockey rinks and dance studios, drinking too much coffee along the way!

Art has always been a part of my life. Growing up in a family of artists, creativity was woven into our homes and daily lives. When my children were little, I turned to painting as an outlet, experimenting with mixed media, acrylics, and art journaling. What began as a personal practice slowly grew into a passion for learning, exploring, and eventually teaching.

Over the years, I’ve embraced opportunities to grow through workshops, classes, books, and podcasts. I love discovering new materials and techniques, but even more, I treasure the connections made through art—sharing creative spaces, exchanging interpretations, and being energized by the presence of fellow artists.

My work is deeply inspired by colour: how it moves us, how it reflects emotion, and how it shows up in the everyday. Often, I return to themes of nature—florals, landscapes, and organic forms—as a way to study colour and celebrate the quiet abundance that surrounds us.
