Welcome to my Website!

NOTE: Although my website will be available for viewing in September, I will not be responding to any ART requests or comments. I will be in Portugal on vacation.
Hello Everyone,
I hope your summer was enjoyable! We are grateful our very old air-conditioner was working during the heat waves. Exploring Medicine Hat and area continues to be a pleasure; we’ve been hiking, biking and kayaking. My thoughts and prayers go out to those of you who are struggling, may you sense some reassurance and support in the days ahead.
Earlier this year, I volunteered with the workshop committee of the Federation of Canadian Artists (F.C.A) - Calgary Chapter. However, after many hours of volunteering and learning, I came to the uncomfortable and disappointing conclusion that I needed to step down. It was hard to inform others on the committee that I wasn’t up to the task and that the job commitment wasn’t a match for me. I am grateful for the kind and loving support from other committee members as I stepped down. Fortunately our chapter has increased in numbers and other volunteers have stepped up to the plate. It was such a relief for me to step down, and take more personal time to grieve the loss of my dad and take better care of myself.

In July I participated in the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede Visual Arts 2024 Show & Awards Ceremony.
Tom (my husband) and I enjoyed viewing the couple hundred creative and thoughtful works! It was precious witnessing preschool to high school students sharing their creations with family and friends. One could feel their joy and sense of accomplishment! During the Awards Ceremony I received a "Mixed Media" award, for "Prairiescape-Remnants #9".

“I work primarily with acrylics, alcohol ink and mixed media. I love to make large spontaneous marks when I begin most paintings. These loose marks suggest routes that I can take with the work. Since I am a tactile learner it is important for me to add layers of texture to my work, allowing me to feel my way through the piece. This assists me in achieving a sense of depth. I love variety; it is a must in my art practice! Abstract thought and life’s metaphors have my interest.”
