Fine artist based in Vernon, BC, Canada.
Hey I’m Aimee Baerg, welcome here! I’m an artist based in Vernon, BC where I create landscape and floral paintings that are deeply inspired by my surroundings in the Okanagan Valley. I’m also a homeschooling mother of four and am guaranteed to be told, “you have your hands full!” at the grocery store. Painting happens during my kids’ afternoon quiet times or the occasional plein air session on a Saturday morning. Art has always been a passion of mine and a way to fill up my cup while expressing myself creatively. My quiet painting sessions are often a time where I find rest in the presence of my Creator, who created us in His image as creative beings. What a joy and a gift that is!
