About the Artist
One of the beautiful things about paint by numbers is that it helps young children explore the beautiful world of painting. That is how I started many, many years ago. Now I no longer paint within the lines but rather within a framework of nature, wildlife, and our beautiful natural landscape. I have a deep and abiding love for nature.
Painting in acrylics, watercolours and in pastels, I am passionate about using art as my one medium to truly relax and to forget about life’s time clock of deadlines and to-do’s. For 30+ years I have escaped to the world of art, letting paint be the medium of creativity. It never ceases to amaze me how when brush hits canvas, beauty is created. I have had no formal training but have participated in workshops all over Canada with art instructors in pastel, acrylics and watercolor.
I have this irrepressible passion for art and painting.
