Art has always been a part of my life. My first art teacher was my grandmother. I recall art and creativity playing a large role in my family at a time when old fashioned traditions were passed on to the next generation, whether it was a quilt, a wall hanging, making a child's toy, home decorating, painting, music, gardening. My second art teacher was my mother who further nurtured my artistic expressions through her examples of creativity. She could knit, weave, sew, draw, paint, build things and inspire us with her many talents.
My current focus is on watercolors. I also enjoy painting with acrylics and oils. One of my inspirations is my home in Monkton. It is my living canvas, a continuing work in progress. A place where I find solace, a place where time slows down and mindfulness is possible. Possibilities here seem endless.
