The process of creativity is what always drives me. Shapes, colours, textures and patterns capture my imagination. Vancouver Island, with its oceans, forests, mountains and farms, is a spectacular showcase and it’s where I live and where I get my inspiration. For the past 30 years I have been living and working on our farm on the Saanich Peninsula. Gardens, sheep, chickens and a vineyard have been a central part of my life. I have taught art in Santa Barbara and Toronto. Locally I have taught at Cedar Hill Secondary, St. Michaels University School and at the University of Victoria. I hold a teaching credential and a B.A. in Art from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Master's degree in Art Education from the University of Victoria. I am a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. My art is displayed in a number of private homes in Canada and the United States. I have participated in a variety of regional art shows. These include the Sooke Art Show, Sidney Fine Art Show, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria Community Arts Show, Moss Street Paint-In and juried exhibitions with the Federation of Canadian Artists.

My art is who I am. I am always visualizing ideas.
