Artist Statement: As a self-taught artist, I paint on canvas and paper using mostly acrylic and some watercolor. I love to express myself and my work with colour that enhances the intent and feel of the piece. For example if the scene is meant to be calming and serene then softer and deeper tones will enhance that effect. If it is a fun piece then brighter colours will bring more joy. I am not afraid of colour!
Biography: I was born and raised on the west coast of B.C. near Vancouver. After marriage my husband and I spent 5 years in the province of Quebec before returning to the Okanagan Valley to raise our three children. I have always been creative in one form or another, but it wasn't until my last child was getting ready to leave home that I finally found the confidence (and time!) to devote to painting. I have since found that it is an amazing, ever- changing journey of growth and discovery in which one never stops learning. I'm enjoying the ride!
