About Me

 

I was born and raised in the beautiful Miramichi region of New Brunswick Canada where my interest in art began early in childhood with the love of watching my father's paintings come to life.

I can't imagine a home without art! It was the love of my childhood and has continued to be throughout my life......studying art in colleges in California and North Carolina, then continuing the study through books, video, museum visits and working with other artists I continue to grow. It's been a never ending education.
Today you can find me anywhere in the Miramichi river valley with a plein air kit drawing or painting in the open air or even in the car. Working with Oils, Pastels, Watercolors, Gouache and Pen & Ink, I choose my medium at random, loving the challenge of being able to convey the emotional appeal of any particular place through my signature mark making….expressive realism

 Past secretary and Past President (2019-2021) of the *Miramichi Art Core*, I have exhibited my work in group shows throughout the area since 2007. Among many indoor and outdoor displays, I have also exhibited at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton NB for their member show in 2014, Harrison House Gallery in St John NB (now closed) and Bay View Gallery in Bathurst NB. I have painted in all plein air festivals sponsored by the Miramichi Art Core in the Miramichi area. In the summer of 2021 and 2022 I was one of the Artists in Residence for Beaubears Island, Artists On The Island Events. I am presently Artist in Residence for Wilson's Point Historic Site…. 2019 to present. I have several paintings available for viewing and purchase displayed inside the little church at the Point in the summer season. Follow me on Facebook or watch my Events Page here to get notified about my summer watercolour workshop at the Point.

1 am deeply grateful for the support of art collectors like you who appreciate my work and choose to make it a part of your homes. It is a thrilling and humbling experience to know my painting brings joy to others.
