About me

I was born and raised in Flin Flon, Manitoba in 1955, the eldest of five children. I now live in Lamont County on an acreage with my husband, and four horses and two dogs. Art has always been my greatest passion. I feel that I've always been an artist, even as a child, growing up, drawing was my past time. My great grandfather was also an artist and had some influence on me. I used to stand very quietly near his easel and watch him paint. When I was about ten years old, my great grandfather passed away and left me all his paints and brushes and I began to paint. Since that time I have changed mediums, from oils to water colors to ink and now acrylic mediums. I am mostly a self taught artist but I have taken many art classes over the years. I have been exhibiting and selling my work for the past ten years. I have shifted my work from very realistic to a much looser abstract style. My work is owned in many private collections as well as corporate collections in Canada, Australia and Scotland. I make a yearly contribution to the Rainbow Wish Foundation for sick and dying children. Quite often I am inspired by the images I see in my dreams.
