Artist Statement:

As an Artist I have become totally indulged in the Usage of Recyclable Materials.  My Process of lost and found  Materials range from Rocks, Books Newspapers, Milk Cantons. Japanese  Washi Paper including Vintage Windows and various other found objects that will be created into a Zen Piece of Art.

Bio:

"My Collective Works of Art" is a reflection of the good fortune of growing up in the idyllic settings in the  Ottawa Valley, Halifax N.S.,  Vancouver Island B.C. and Washington D"C.  An environmentally nurturing upbringing gifted me with a deep understanding of Nature's intrinsic Beauty in Landscapes,  and Plant Life. 

My family was composed of exceptional talented female Artists that recognized my particular artistic interests and qualities and encourage me  to travel worldly to observe a wide range of different cultures.  Rigorously studying the Art of Chinese Brush Painting after several major Asian trips I earned a highly prestigious Professional Studio Stamp

Awards, Honours  and Publications have been received including a 2008 Toronto Washi Summit International Award plus the Maritime Museum, Halifax, N.C (Permanent Collection) owns one of my books called "A Sailor's Log Book" and the Brooklyn Library Art Museum have two Art Books.  My paintings also appears in the Beauty and Best Film and the Canadian TV Series "Private Eyes"

As of today after several years as Co-Curator at the Women's Art Association I am now focusing my time and energy on self-direct Art Studies and continuing my combination Artistic Western Art Techniques and Chinese Brush Painting  to create a vision of depth emphasizing colours, and textures to give the viewer a sense of serenity through a peaceful Zen Style
