"I am so inspired by nature, and I love animals. It is my goal to create a connection between these
magnificent beings and the people that view them - where the seer and the seen become one."
~ Kate Tooke

Although I painted through my youth, it wasn't until adulthood that I re-discovered my joy in creating. Living in Banff National Park for 18 years fostered both a love & respect for nature and the animals that surround us. I recently moved to beautiful Vernon, B.C. in the stunning Okanagan and am living happily on an acreage with my husband and three kids, two horses, donkey, two dogs and three cats.
