I’ve been drawing, painting and making prints since childhood.  My love of art led me to an Honours degree in Art History, followed by a Bachelor of Education in Visual Arts from Queen’s University.  During my career, creating art experiences for my students was the centrepiece of my teaching. 

I have exhibited my work at Queen's University, Art Lending of Ottawa, the Mayor's Art Festival and Friends of the Farm. I am currently a member of the Foyer Gallery where I show my work regularly. 

Water-based media such as watercolour and ink have always been my first love. The interaction between pigment, water and beautiful paper never loses its fascination to me.  I also work in gouache, mixed media and linocut.  I am continuously searching for better ways to express my response to nature and the landscape, either in close-up or in larger views.

The Canadian landscape beckons me to paint en plein air and in the studio. Working from sketches, I often finish paintings in the studio. The landscape around Almonte and Lanark County, where I've recently moved, is now calling me to paint. Light, shape and texture give me the impetus to sketch.
