I am a Guelph artist and educator who has shown art in Toronto, Guelph, Woodstock, Eden Mills, Ridgetown and Fergus. I hold Degrees in Botany, fine art and education.

Pen and ink, watercolour, acrylics, collage and printmaking are the predominant types of media found in my work at this time. Organic shapes and forms, strong lines, repetition and vivid colours predominate.

The environment and ecology are persistent themes in my work; influenced by pertinent changes in today’s global world. Declining populations of bees, frogs, seahorses and other species are of great concern. To bring attention to the plight of these organisms, images created and present in this gallery.

Life drawing and the human form are also of interest. The immediacy of capturing the figure in two-minute gestures and the energy of the model is challenging. After a life class, I take the work to my studio and exaggerate the line to create definition, variety and movement. Work is then scanned into the computer. I can add colour using computer programs direct, or use the image for additional work. I am working to have a multimedia presentation using computer technology. As a part of lifelong learning, always be open and receptive to new ideas, options and possibilities.
