Creativity has always been a part of my life and I've explored many avenues. I have been able In the past three years to focus and express my artistic visions. I am now creating and enjoying a full time opportunity to explore the landscape and paint. I have roots in four corners of Canada and am now living in Southern Alberta receiving what I see as some well deserved warmth. I plan to get out and about, weather permitting, as much as possible and enjoy the change of scenery and road trips to new places.

I have seized opportunities to learn from others. I find the most significant education comes from doing. I've been on watercolor workshops with Tom Lynch, Kathy Miller-Stone, Chinese brushwork and a variety of on-line tutorials. It will be a lifelong journey to continue to learn and explore new possibilities.
