How I Became a Top Canada Art Blog

I think it was around the year 2000 when I launched my first artist website—an online portfolio that marked the beginning of my professional art career. Over the years, that simple website evolved into a dynamic space where I could share not only my paintings but also my journey through the ever-changing landscape of the Canadian art world. How I became a top Canada art blog.

In the beginning, I wrote blog posts monthly, often reflecting on local events or exhibitions close to home. As my career expanded across Canada and into North America, so did the scope of my writing. Eventually, my blog became more frequent—sometimes with multiple posts in a single week—covering everything from travel adventures and exhibition openings to topics like buying art, understanding the art market, and investing in original work.

Writing has become a valuable part of my creative process. It allows me to explore ideas beyond the canvas—where my artist brain meets my entrepreneurial side. I often use the blog to tell the stories behind individual paintings, giving readers insight into how a piece comes to life in the studio. It’s become an important tool for educating and engaging with art lovers, collectors, and aspiring artists. I believe sharing the behind-the-scenes experience helps bridge the gap between artist and viewer—bringing more understanding to what it means to be a professional Canadian artist today.

Right now, I’m writing from Newfoundland, Canada, where I’m enjoying an artist residency at the Pouch Cove Foundation. This place is born of waves, wind, jagged cliffs, and solitude. It’s incredibly conducive to reflection and writing. The studio features floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto a field of swaying grass, flanked by trees and a dramatic cliffside, with a single house perched at the top. As I write, I watch the wind dance through the grass and crows play in the trees—a meditative view and the perfect backdrop for creativity.

Yesterday, I received some exciting news—Feedspot has selected my blog as one of the Top 25 Canada Art Blogs. This recognition made me smile, as I truly enjoy writing and sharing this side of my artistic life. For those unfamiliar, Feedspot is a global content curator that ranks blogs, podcasts, news outlets, and social media creators to help audiences easily discover new voices and perspectives.

I’m honoured to be listed alongside some of Canada’s most influential art voices, including Booooooom, Akimbo, Canada Council Art Bank, and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

To everyone who has followed, read, or shared my blog over the years—thank you. Whether you’re here for the paintings, the stories, or the behind-the-scenes journey, I’m grateful you’re part of this creative adventure with me.
