Biography
My passion for painting began about 10
years ago when a friend encouraged me to attend a
Chinese Painting Class with Mr. Lee at the London Public
Library.
Since then I have taken classes with Sheila Griffith
Harris and also numerous workshops at the Southampton
School. Presently I am enjoying classes with Johnnene
Maddison.
My painting reflects nature in both Canada and Costa
Rica.
In Canada I am inspired by the beauty of what is around
us, and the challenge of arranging colours and textures
to enhance that beauty. My medium here is mostly
watercolours. I am a recent member of The Brush and
Palette Club, and I expect my paintings to be exhibited
in their Annual Spring Art Show.
In Costa Rica my paintings are mostly acrylics. For
three years Galleria "Mar Y Sol" in Tamarindo has
exhibited and sold my artwork at their gallery. These
paintings reflect a more tropical mood and my subjects
vary from butterflies to iguanas and lily ponds to
seascapes. Our local art group "Gauguin's Girls" meets
weekly to paint and exhibit our successes.
