As an Artist:

Carleen has had national-level recognition for her artwork and has produced several solo art shows. Her artwork has been represented alongside Robert Bateman in festivals and calendars, and she has represented Western Canada in international art exhibitions. In 2017, the RCMP Heritage Centre purchased her series titled 'From Sea to Sea,' which showcased the life of an RCMP member. Her artwork is supported by Sea Turtle conservation organizations such as Malama i na honu. With each piece she creates, she combines science and art to leave the viewer experiencing beautiful energy as they notice the beauty these animals possess.

Art From The SEA

Being near any open body of water brings me a sense of peace and connection. The sea turtle has been a large focus of this type of work, and to date I have painted over 65 sea turtle paintings. To me this animal represents wisdom, peace, and connection with that which is greater.

Art from the LAND

Carleen is drawn to colours that she can see in nature and it is this that she brings out in each of her paintings. Her watercolours highlight the subtle colours that most miss, while her acrylics and pencils bring forth great richness.

Art from the AIR

The element of air allows us to feel freedom and create the space for change. Over the years Carleen has been inspired to create artwork with birds using both watercolours and the coloured pencil.

For to her this is the way that she sees these animals.
