The painting process is what excites me, not necessarily the subject matter. I really love playing with paint, discovering new colour mixes, using new tools to find new ways of applying the paint to the canvas, following the "what happens if I do this" lead. It is a journey of discovery, always an adventure and I absolutely love it. But as a result, repetition is difficult for me! So you will find a lot of variety on this website and maybe wonder what kind of an artist is she anyway?? Well I am the same in art as in life. I rarely read a book twice (except the Bible because you can't read that too many times!) or watch a movie a second time. Once I know the end there is nothing to pique my curiosity and curiosity is what is at the heart of my painting process and the drive to create. I have loved painting florals and landscapes but I love the challenge of creating abstracts and that is my focus at the moment. In 2024 I did a self-directed artist residency in Newfoundland and "ON THE ROCK", a collection of abstracted landscapes, resulted from that time that I am quite proud of.
