Artist's Statement

Growing up I was always making things, drawing and painting.  This creativity developed into a love for the arts, supporting and participating in visual arts groups and teaching painting classes to adults and children.

I enjoy painting a variety of realistic subjects, such as flowers and birds, with a special interest in lighthouses.  This interest I attribute to living in the Maritimes for many years and growing up near a lighthouse on the Great Lakes.  I paint primarily in oils but enjoy working with watercolours and trying new mediums.  Some of my favorite new mediums include wool felting and encaustics.

In the last few years I have been experimenting with large, multi media water and sky studies.  Exploring my fascination with the sparkle and movement of sunlight on water and the ever-changing texture and colour of clouds.

I for the past 16 years I have enjoyed teaching art classes to adults and children.

As Art Curator for the Brighton Arts Council, I promote the wealth and variety of artists in the area, organizing the rotation of art in Brighton.  I am also part of the Arts Quinte West’s Communication Team supporting art in Trenton.
