I have always loved art and creating things. I grew up in an artistic household where my father painted watercolours in his studio, and as children we were encouraged to be creative.
It was only when my children left home as young adults that I decided to learn to paint. A trip to Paris energized me as I experienced the Impressionist masters first hand and loved the stimulation of the Louvre.
I took art classes locally and have continued to pursue art education striving towards developing my skills and the study of art techniques and artists.
My inspiration comes from being in nature where I find refreshment and healing. I love being in the natural world where the light, cloud formations, and patterns are ever changing and provide an endless source of ideas. The aim of my art is to provide hope and light in an often darkened world. I want to focus on the beauty that I see in nature, and also in the everyday.

Just to note that I'm sorry to disappoint but I do not take commissions.
