“With a vision comes the joy in creating”
I paint in Acrylic on canvas. I am inspired to create from the natural world, you might find me outside picking up sticks for the next project idea. My journeys, a view from my window, or a loved one’s story is where the creative journey begins, the path it takes while painting is what personally ignites my soul.
I grew up in New Malden, England with some senior school studies in drawing, pottery and painting. My Father was quite influential in my creative journey; I was inspired by his love for sculpting. He shared this love by taking the family for day trips to art galleries and craft shows, it was there I found my favourites to draw and practice.
Moving to Canada, in 1992, my love affair and passion for art crossed the Atlantic with me. Humble beginnings of designing and crafting props, scenery and costumes for my son’s dramatic endeavours or a themed birthday party, kept the spark alive.
I had the opportunity to show my paintings at the Port Perry Farmers Market in the summer of 2017. Even more recently, I exhibited my paintings along with my homemade Christmas Tree Ornaments at Santa’s Workshop and Marketplace, hosted by Community Plus Durham 2019.
