My fondness for painting started as a child with "doodling".  That fondness connected with a search for relaxation and ended up with lessons in portrait painting in oils and then a switch to watercolours when I discovered that small children and oils do not make a good blend.  I became the first president of the Kanata Art Club in 1973.  While with the club, I had the opportunity to take lessons from Robert Hyndman, Elizanne (Anne) Campbell, Anne Remmer Thompson, Anne Forman, Catherine Edmonds, and later Heather Gallup in Stittsville and Arnprior.

My preferred medium is watercolour and I specialize in landscapes and florals.  My landscapes are described as relaxing, soft and liveable and both landscapes and florals will fit into anyone's decor.

I have lived in the Arnprior area for 17 years, having originally come from north of Toronto.  I belong to the Arnprior Day Painters group and my paintings are shown in local shows, at Country Comforts and at the Gallery Gift Shop in Arnprior as well as my studio at home.
