I am a pastel artist living in Stratford, Ontario. I have always had a fascination with art, and as a teenager, I dreamed of becoming an artist. However, I followed what I felt was a practical path into the healthcare field, and graduated college as a pharmacy technician. During my 35-year career in hospital pharmacy, I dabbled in drawing and painting in my spare time. Once my two wonderful boys came along, my art activities happily shifted to enjoying cut and paste, finger painting, and other crafts with them.
Fast forward 27 years, and suddenly I had more time to devote to my interest in art. I enrolled at Sheridan College of Art and Design in 2013 and graduated from the Fine Arts Certificate program with high honors in 2015. My first encounter with using pastel was at Sheridan, and it was love at first touch! The pigment's soft buttery feel and luscious colours hooked me on this excellent medium! I retired from hospital pharmacy in 2016 and relocated to Stratford, Ontario, to pursue my dream of working as an artist full time.
I paint subjects that I find a connection to. This allows me to enjoy the process of painting. I strive to capture the landscape's light, colour, and atmosphere and the realism and mood of unique still life arrangements for you to enjoy.
My goal with painting what moves me is to evoke an emotion in the viewer. When a viewer connects with my work and finds that it can stir a memory, meaning, smile, or dream, I have accomplished this goal.
