I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to grow and evolve as an artist. Throughout the last 25 years I have been consciously learning and upgrading my craft to encompass all that interests me. Going from graphite pencil, to watercolour, then to acrylics and collage. It seems I can't get enough of glorious colour!

I have had my paintings jurried into various art competitions throughout Southern Ontario and have been recognized for many of my paintings as well as teaching others about my passion, composition and design.

Below are some Awards that I have received and recognitions in the Art Community:
