I am privileged to reside near the shores of Lake Huron and look out my window every day at The Pinery Provincial Park.  The beauty of this landscape gives me daily inspiration and feeds my passion as an artist. 

I began painting after a successful career in financial planning.   London and area artists, as well as artists from other parts of Ontario and the United States have greatly assisted me with my development.  I believe that art is a journey and that my personal artistic growth  can be enhanced by learning from accomplished artists in a variety of mediums.  

I work in watercolors, acrylic and oils using an intuitive approach to my paintings and especially enjoy portrait and figurative work.  I show my work  locally as well as in Florida and my paintings hang in private collections in Canada, the United States and overseas. 

I am actively involved in the art community locally, nationally and in  Florida.

Last year I was instrumental in opening a new co-op art gallery in Grand Bend called Sunset Arts. I am also a board member for The Grand Bend Art Center where I occasionally instruct workshops.

I am  the chair for special events and activities for the Society of Canadian Artists.

While wintering in Florida, I am involved with the Cultural Arts Association and the Women’s Art Network.

This past winter my art was featured on the front page of The Destin Log.

“My art is a blessing that continues to surprise me.”
