I have a creative spirit and a love for detail. Although I am detail-oriented, I appreciate objects that are unique/quirky. This feeds my creativity and will often result in a painting. I thank God daily for this creative spirit. I developed an early love for nature having grown up at Victoria Beach, Manitoba, a beautiful lakeside resort area. I paint detailed watercolour landscapes which often include birds, water, trees, rocks etc. My love for colour presents itself in my detailed paintings of flowers and certain birds. Many of my scenes are reminiscent of my travels throughout Arizona. In particular, I love visiting the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, Az. where I gain much inspiration. I have also painted portraits of my grand-children as babies and toddlers.
