Artist’s Statement

At work in my studio

“The twisted weave of tree roots along a forest trail, a white-tailed deer peering in our patio window, a rainbow-coloured sunset, water cascading over giant boulders or simply a sudden flash of inspiration; these are some of the triggers that stir and awaken my creative spirit. I experience a pleasant fluttering in my gut, light headedness, sometimes goose pimples rise on my skin as my muse entices me to the easel to share this experience with the world.”

Most of my work tends towards realism using a variety of mediums – acrylic, oil, watercolour, Chinese and acrylic inks, as well as mixed media. Each one offers its own special qualities, allowing me the freedom to select what best interprets a subject.

With my deep concern for our planet, my paintings often carry a subtle or direct message about our shared responsibility to care for Mother Earth and her abundant life.  To that end a portion of sales of all paintings goes directly to Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary to support their rehabilitation work in Muskoka.
