Artist's Biography
Born & raised in Ontario, I worked in accounting positions for a number of years. I moved out west after completing an Interior Design Degree and accepting a position in Edmonton, AB. I owned and operated the "Design Studio" until the birth of my daughter. We moved to Summerland, BC in the 90's and enjoyed all that BC has to offer - boating, hiking, skiing. I am still in awe of what this province has to offer its residents. I moved to Westbank in 2005 after accepting a controller position with a local retail service company.
I have always been involved with the arts as a crafter, potter, designer over the years and dove head first into painting when I took some pastel and watercolour lessons. I was hooked. I began painting more frequently when I retired.
I love to work with a number of mediums and materials and experimenting with what they can do. Just a small amount of sand off the beach mixed with some medium gives such depth to a landscape or abstract. The possibilities are endless and the fun part is discovering them each and every day.
The spontaneous process (to just let go & let it happen) gives the artist such freedom. TRY IT-YOU'LL LIKE IT!
