​Welcome!

I am a Canadian semi-abstract/abstract artist working in acrylic and mixed media, painting mostly from my imagination, always exploring and learning, and loving every minute of this artistic journey.

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.
