Artist Statement:
Art has played a major part in my life. The older I become, the stronger the passion and desire has grown to paint more. I love art and have worked with many mediums. I love to explore the inexhaustible possibilities art has to offer and find the process fulfilling and rewarding.
Artist Bio:
I grew up in Whitby, Ontario. When I moved to Toronto at the age of 19, I discovered the wide range of art courses available. I was then able to earn a living in the daytime and take art classes in the evenings.
I have taken many courses and workshops over the years and have learned to work in many different mediums including soft and oil pastels, watercolours, gouache, oils, acrylics, pen and ink, Sumi E brush painting, photography, silk dyes and fabric paints.
While portraiture, continues to be a focus, I also love painting more landscapes as well as mystical and abstract paintings. My favourite pastime is driving through the local countryside to find a lovely or interesting spot to spend the day painting and enjoying the nature around me. Since retiring and having more mobility problems due to Primary Lymphedema in my lower half body, I attempt to capture the beauty of living by Frenchman’s Bay and the energies around me.
I belong to a few art clubs. I was a member and also Past President of the Don Valley Art Club. Presently I am a member of Art Guild of Scarborough and the Oshawa Art Association. They allow me to learn from fellow members and demonstrating guest artists, do volunteer work, and they provide opportunities to show some of my works.
My paintings are in many private collections all across Canada and also in Hong Kong, Scotland and Chili as well as in Borough of East York, Public collection.
I have shown pieces at McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, Whitby Station Gallery and part of the show “I AM Here” at AGO.
I have won several awards from art clubs including Borough of East York Purchase award. Awards also from Biafarin and International Art Magazines. Public Choice award for Happiness category and a Solo online show Winter 2023. Though Art Tour International magazine I was awarded for Top 50 International Artist Emerald Award 2021 and also offered Top 60 Masters award 2022.
