Artist Statement:
I was an educator in Ontario,
Canada, for 35 years before
retiring to Collingwood in
1996. I have always had an
interest in art but never
followed up by taking any
formal training in or out of
school until later in life,
while taking an Education
Course for my Art Specialist
Certifcate at York University,
I studied under the Toronto
artist Martin Grove.
I paint most subjects but my
interest lies in depicting
pets, animals in their natural
habitats, and skyscapes. The
very picturesque Collingwood
area which lies at the
southern tip of Georgian Bay
in Ontario, Canada, affords me
many opportunities to view
wildlife and beautiful scenes.
I painted in oils but I now
enjoy the use of acrylics and
its fast drying properties. I
continue to learn and to
practise new techniques in
order to improve my
proficiency in the use of
acrylics. I enjoy using a
bright, bold, solid palette as
you can see by viewing my
works here and at my site
www.bcsartstudio.goldbook.ca
Please enjoy!...

I became an artist because of all the beauty in the world that surrounded me. The pets I had and the wildlife I saw while canoeing or visiting a zoo. The beautiful sunsets while I sat by my canoe beside a campfire. |
