About the Artist

My Life as an Artist

Life does not always go as planned and my life was no different.  I always planned to take art in high school and then follow that up with an art degree.  That did not happen.  My art education came as an adult, in bits and pieces, as I took a few courses at the Ontario College of Art, joined a local art group, took local Workshops with well known artists and studied many art books and videos.

I have been juried into three art groups in Manitoba and have exhibited my art at numerous shows and exhibitions.  

In the last few years, I have entered some competitions and have been rewarded with a number of awards.  One International mixed media competition saw one of my paintings awarded with publication in the book, Incite 3: The Art of Storytelling, Best of Mixed Media.

I love to create colourful paintings, and also love to try different techniques, mediums, and subject matter.  I hope you enjoy looking at the works I have created.

In January, 2022, I sent my application in to the Federation of Canadian Artists and was accepted as an Active Member.
