"I
am an artist residing on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
I work with paint, clay, fabric and whatever else I can get my
hands on. I believe in surrounding myself with hand made art and
feel that it greatly improves the quality and atmosphere of my
life. My hope is that by creating art I am sharing my appreciation
of beauty. My style ranges from bold realism to colourful abstract.
Whatever the style I try to put as much of my self into my work
as I can. I make enjoyment of the artistic process a priority
and through it I am ever learning more about myself."
As a child I lived with many art and craft activities. My parents
earned part of our family income by making pottery. With my family
I partook in reading, pottery, sculpting, drawing and painting.
While growing up I continued to nurture my relationship with art.
Drawing remained a pass time always. I focussed on art classes
throughout my schooling and gained good experience with pottery
through college classes.
Today I am making art a source of family income as I continue
to develop my relationship with painting. I hope you enjoy the
Web site and gallery. Be sure to come back and see my new work.
