Artist Statement:
It is my belief that
creativity is what we are all
born with. Some folks have an
natural inclination and need
to express this, though I
believe being creative is not
exclusive to artists.
As an artist I have a desire
to encourage others to live
there lives creatively and
hope that my work we enable
this to happen through the
rendering of subject matter
which reflect the beauty of
the creation all around and
within me. Living a life with
humour, humility, and a love
of humanity is what I strive
for in all I do particularily
in my art work and as an
artist....

| Your Personal Biography |
I am a 55 year woman on her way to becoming a crone. I have a passion for horses, art and children. I love portraiture which has been my subject matter for years however have expanded that somewhat to include other subject matter and am now wanting to explore abstract expressionistic aspects of art for my subject matter instead of realistic renderings. I attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and studied fine art, sculpture, mixed media and art education. I have studied theatre in Toronto where I took part in an intensive study of Comedia Del Arte. I am an apprentice welder, I love the sea and am an equestrian nut.
I live in very rural Nova Scotia on a tidal river. I am not one to exhibit in gallerys as I am not comfortable in the arena. I prefer to do commissioned work and need to be in love with my subject matter. I strive to be an artist with integrity and purpose. I have been more of what would be seen as a traditional artist. I am not always of the view that art is always open for interpretation. I believe that the artist has an obligation to the viewer much of the time and that creativity is not just for a chosen few. My influences have been some of my own painting teachers and particular books I have read over the years that relate directly to creativity and spirituality. I am an admirer of the classic painters, impressionists, many Canadian painters, William Kurlick, Alex Colville, The Group of Seven, Emily Carr, Tom Thompson etc.
