The pause Painting

“No one really listened, so feeling alone I filed every colour and detail I saw.” I was born in Hamilton, Ontario Canada to Italian parents but now, I currently live in Chatham Ontario on the Thames River with my husband Steve. Our home/studios provides a very tranquil ambiance. The bonus is we have a beautiful view so creative juices can run. My career path progressed from interior design to the culinary arts. My part time studies started at the Dundas Valley School of Arts 1992-97. In 1998, I first exhibited at the Hamilton Art Gallery, starting with ink. I, now primarily painti with watercolour although I’ve not abandoned oils especially for portraits. Realizing portraits were favoured, I founded S’oil Studios for bereaved parents. I’ve participated in three group painting for the Artist Workshop Norfolk County in Simcoe Ontario. Inspired, uplifted and deepen by the masters, I strive for attainable quality in my art as not to loose the profound, inspiring or beautiful. “A part of me goes into each piece.”
