I was born and raised in Edmonton and have spent many an hour painting and drawing. After graduating from Victoria Composite High School with a Commercial Arts Degree, I spent some of my time travelling and dabbling in many art projects.
Although painting was my passion, so was raising my son. Getting back into my art was very rewarding for me. I love bright colors and am inspired by what I see around me.
I am currently a member of the Edmonton Arts Council, involved with The Canadian Artists for the Poor, Artwalk Artists, Artscapes Canada , The Visual Arts Alberta Association, and CARFAC . My paintings have been shown in various places around Edmonton, Calgary, California (where I teach Art classes at the Miraflores Winery) and displayed in homes throughout North America and as far away as New Zealand. I continue to grow with my passion for art. I have had a show at the Artist’s Alley Gallery in San Francisco/2010 and the Agora Gallery of New York City/2011. I am also involved in a book project called Artscapes Canada/Pays-Art. In Dec 2012 I was one of 20 artists from around the world showing my work at the Vivid arts Network’s “Cutting Edge” Masters of Contemporary Art in Florence Italy.
