I love to paint - the nervous excitement of an empty canvas; the detailed planning of form, composition and colour. Magic moments come when thoughts are silent, when the hand and brush dance together. Doubt and dislike often precede that final touch which says " It is done. This painting holds all I have to say."  What does it say to you?

Influences:
a love of archaeology, history and research
the northern forests and native peoples of Eastern Canada
the frustrations and creative joy of motherhood
my husband
some wonderful mentors in art
middle-age in the urban domestic milieu
a renewed connection to the sprititual and
a sense that only my own negativity holds me back.
