Since I began my new journey as an artist I view the world in a totally new light.
Everywhere I look there are challenges and rewards. I appreciate the wonderful
people including fellow artists that I have met.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
As I look around during my travels I see so much beauty, I try to capture some of
this on canvas or paper. I enjoy time spent in my painting room. With soft music
playing and a paint brush in my hand, time passes too quickly.
I have never regretted the challenge of learning to paint, I get to meet so many nice
people and my life has been enhanced by joining the Brockville Artist’s Group.
My art supplies accompany me when my husband and I go south for the winter.
I am never bored.
