Bring beautiful reflections of nature into your home
Introducing a collection of my paintings. All are acrylic on gallery quality canvas. Purchases of several canvases, both large and small, have been commissions. While a painting marked “sold” is no longer available, a commission similar to the image can be completed upon request.
Sharing my work in other mediums is a new venture. Images from the Currents, Forest Bathing, and Out of the Blue series are offered on cards, tea towels, and scarves.
I donate a portion of sales to Arts Umbrella. I also participate in fundraisers for Mossom Creek Hatchery, and Butterflies in Spirit.

“My career and volunteer work for 45 years was in the field of early childhood care and education. Arts Umbrella community outreach programs are excellent examples of quality experiences for children.” - Trudy
“Arts Umbrella is thrilled that Trudy has chosen our non-profit arts organization as her charity of choice, with proceeds being allocated to our Early Learning programs which are developed by early childhood education experts and consultants, and grounded in arts education principles. The early years are a key point in a child’s development: a time to investigate problem solving, nurture curiosity, and develop self-confidence. In all disciplines — whether Dance, Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts — students, ages 2-5, will be guided to use their imagination, intellect, and emotions for creative exploration and expression.
Together, we celebrate Trudy’s work, acknowledging the pivotal role that artists continue to play in the telling of Arts Umbrella’s story. From the artist-instructors who teach with such passion, to the young artists who are the inspiration for everything we do, to the professional arts community who responds with such heartfelt support. Thank you for helping to sustain Arts Umbrella through this special initiative.” - Andrea, Manager, Major Gifts at Arts Umbrella
“Butterflies in Spirit is a dance group made up of Indigenous women, girls and 2S who dance hip hop, contemporary and decolonial Indigenous dance for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls and Two-Spirit people.” - Butterflies in Spirit
All proceeds from the SEEDs greeting cards are donated to Butterflies in Spirit.
I live by Mossom Creek in Port Moody, BC. Mossom Creek Hatchery and Education Centre volunteers have an impressive history of restoring salmon runs to the creek and educating the community about the Mossom watershed. - Trudy
Thank you, Elizabeth and Trudy, for your support of Mossom. The painting of the inlet “Currents at the Breakwater” is lovely and transferred beautifully to the tea towels and cards. Our volunteers and visitors are impressed! - Ruth Foster, on the behalf the board and volunteers
Where to Find Trudy’s Work
“It has been a joy to carry and sell Trudy’s series of paintings these past couple of years. Her Forest Bathing invites my customers to walk amongst the trees. Currents invites one to enjoy the Fraser river to the Salish Sea. Out of the Blue inspires a magical experience unique to each customer. They have been a big hit. Thank you, Trudy!”
“I am the owner of Fancy This Gifts in Ladner and in my 24th year of business. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to sell Trudy’s artwork. Her hand-painted cards are unique and suitable for framing. Her lovely tea towels receive many compliments and are top sellers. The scarves, inspired by a Currents painting, are beautifully designed. My first order sold out within the first three weeks! I am sure my new display will be just as popular.” - Joni, Fancy This Gifts
