Into the Mist Painting

Born and raised in the Niagara Region, I started drawing at the age of seven, and continued to do so right through high school where I realized that Art was something that I wanted to pursue. After high school, my journey into motherhood began and along the way I became a proud and loving parent to four beautiful daughters.  In 2012 I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree From Brock University.  My process is based on the theory of the Cartesian Self. Never having a clear vision of what the finished piece will look like, I immerse myself into the process of feeling, eventually removing self from the image appearing on the canvas. It is a thought experiment.  An individual's mind, separate from body and the outside world, thinking about itself and its existence. This is depicted in the lack of human figures or faces in the piece, allowing the viewer to enter the images unencumbered, and visualize themselves in the setting or journey portrayed.
