My Bio
I finger-painted in Kindergarten, doodled all over the margins of my school notebooks, and was granted permission to paint logos, album covers and movie graphics on my bedroom walls as a teenager. I can't remember a time that art wasn't part of my life. I did go through a dry spell during the first few years I was raising my children, and suddenly woke up one day wondering what was missing. I realized it was art! I got back into painting (acrylic on canvas), and felt the most euphoric rush I'd felt in years!! It was bliss. I love to paint, and appreciate all of the amazing artists out there who share that euphoria with me. I felt it was time to share and celebrate. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. I am Canadian!
