I am an artist working with vivid acrylics and mixed media. Vibrant abstracts, oversized florals, textured Canadian vistas and whimsical kaleidoscope fantasies are distinctly recognizable of  what is described as my unique joyful style and technique. Many of Ottawa’s remarkable landmarks have been immortalized in my more fanciful designs. A curvaceous signature of the Art Deco influence is omni present in my abstract work. This characteristic swirl is representative of the spiritual evolution that led me to my chosen career as an artist.
​     I am an instructor, sharing my techniques in refined brushwork to achieve depth, dimension and detail. As well as the use of palette knife for rich satisfying texture. I delight in the role as mentor, as I have and will still require mentorship as I continue on my path. Artist assisting artists (people helping people in general) is what this is all about. The sharing of ideas is what makes us all stronger and lifts us up. Thankfully there will always be more learning and sharing to be done in this adventure called life. 
     I grew up in Ottawa, Canada's capital city. I am now living in the Ottawa Valley on the Ottawa River. An art studio with a house attached on the land where our cottage stood, it is and always have been my happy place. Having an art studio steps from the shoreline is my idea of the perfect scenario. It is an inspirational beautiful setting, yet it is also very calming, soul centering, and perfectly serene. All elements conducive to creativity at it's finest.
     The creation of art has been an integral part of me since the beginning of time. The soul wants what the soul wants and mine is happiest when creating. The art forms have varied throughout my life but as I look back, each creative component contributed to my unique path and continues to be an evolving art process .

My studio is located in Castleford, Horton Township in between Arnprior & Renfrew on the Ottawa River. Map: http://mapq.st/129FnVa
