STUDIO 5

I came from the big city to live at my home in Ompah in the late 1970’s. Before coming here I had done a great deal of craft work, and received one year of formal art training at the New School of Art in Toronto. I have been painting ever since, and have tried out most mediums, and taken many workshops to learn about different techniques and approaches to visual art.

I consider myself to be primarily a water-colourist, and I will always love painting in that medium. In recent years, however, I have done a great deal of work in acrylics, and am also beginning to incorporated collage and multimedia techniques into my work.

My subject matter usually involves landscapes and gardenscapes, and I find lots of inspiration in my beautiful North Frontenac surroundings. I am increasingly interested in incorporating human figures into my work.

Both my watercolour and acrylic paintings tend to focus on things I love in nature – birch trees, flowers (especially poppies!) and birds. My painting style is evolving as I continue to take classes and learn different techniques.

I also like to create functional and beautiful mosaics pieces out of glass and tile (i.e., candle holders, trays and windows).

About me.....

I am a public servant by day with a lot of my downtime dedicated to being creative. On summer weekends my hubby and I can usually be found at my parents' cottage on Malcolm Lake where we enjoy the particular peace and quiet that can only be found by the water.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Back Roads Studio Tour!
