I have been interested in art since I started school, rushing to finish my schoolwork so I could draw and colour. I started taking art lessons and painting more seriously when I was in my 30s.
For many years, I painted with watercolours until I discovered fluid acrylics. I have since gone back and forth between these two media.
Landscape has always been my main subject matter. More recently, I have been particularly interested in ice formation and went on a two week cruise to visit Greenland and Labrador and see icebergs. As well, I saw the beautiful northern vegetation with vibrant colour grasses. My love of nature has motivated me to move to a riverside home in the country. My husband and I also own a small camper that has allowed us to travel in the most remote areas of the country. While travelling, I always use watercolour to capture the landscape.
Creating art allows me to bring out the aspects of nature that attract me, particularly the colours. When I look at my paintings, I relive the enjoyment of being there and seeing as well as the enjoyment of painting it.
