Artist statement
The sea, the sky,
and the elements, fishing boats, marine scenes, and landscapes. All of these are
part of my environment.
I am inspired by my
passion for the sea. I love painting in oils, but also find watercolours,
acrylics & oil pastels very satisfying. It depends on the mood of the elements
surrounding the subject.
One of my
favourites is painting pet portraits and active figure portraits. These are done
on a commission basis, always in oils and usually from photographs. |

Bio
Info
My art education
began in my childhood. My mother was a prolific artist and constantly engaged me
in her visual frame of reference. Later, I enrolled in many drawing, sculpting,
pottery and painting classes at the extension department of NSCAD. Workshops
were also
a part of my art
world. I have been steady in my pursuit of art knowledge throughout my life. Now
I'm retired and enjoy painting on a daily basis.
As an active member
of the Aspotogan Arts and Crafts Association, I am exposed to a group of very
sharing artists who are forever finding inspiration through exposure to new
methods and techniques.
It is a very
inspiring place to be.
