Becoming an artist has been a journey of discovery with some interesting surprises along the way!  I paint many different subjects, always looking for intriguing figures, engaging landscapes and a hint of the mystery and moods that draw us to them.  My preferred medium is acrylic and I particularly enjoy capturing quintessentially Canadian scenes of people in the environment, wildlife, night skies, northern waters and ice.

A few years ago, I joined a local studio group and that was a game-changer.  I found a welcoming community of creative people who shared their talents with me, nurtured my efforts and encouraged me to display my work.  Through this experience, I joined the Belleville Art Association and participated in many juried shows.  I was also inspired to take community art courses at Loyalist College and to earn  qualifications through the Ontario College of Teachers.   I continue to exhibit my work and to see the world around me in new ways through the eyes of an artist.

My other love is music and it has been a great satisfaction to discover connections and how the one inspires the other.
