I love the outdoors, and have a particular affinity for edges where water meets land. As a child, I would walk along the Ottawa River and just look. I liked to find things, observe the creatures, watch the water. I lived near the sea in Newfoundland; I’ve driven coast to coast in Canada. I swam in Newfoundland waters (very cold) and in warmer seas (Scotland, Portugal). I found a river to walk to when living in Kansas. Such experiences influence my art.

My painting of the Hog’s Back was reviewed positively in Nepean This Week and Barrhaven This Week. My landscapes were featured in Ottawa Life Magazine (summer 2007, vol. #3).

My work is known at the Foyer Gallery and my booths at the Manotick Art Association and Nepean Fine Arts League spring and fall sales. I’ve placed art in the Tay River Gallery in Perth; Nepean Fine Arts League Gallery on Stafford Rd., Bells Corners; Rideau Canal Museum (Smith’s Falls); Osgoode Township Historical Society Museum (Vernon); Manotick library; two rural banks; Miller’s Oven in Manotick; a large painting in a large display case, Nepean Sportsplex (near Capone’s); Pelvic Support and Physiotherapy Clinic in Bells Corners; and in a private auction for Habitat for Humanity in the National Arts Centre.
