I've been painting since the early 90's. Since then I've been lucky enough to travel the world, doing 'how to' seminars - places like Japan, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, USA. I have made so many wonderful friends through painting. My greatest joy has been to watch artists develop their skills before my eyes - to witness them as they realize just what they have accomplished!  I've written several books, hundreds of instructional packets, presented at trades shows all over North America, and worked with a variey of art material manufacturers.  Zhostovo florals has been a passion mainly because of the precise strokework and intricate borders involved.   I also love landscapes and have more recently enjoyed painting seascapes.  I work mostly in oils but many of the floral pieces are done with acrylic.

​

I have many pieces for sale and am also happy to customize a painting if that is desired.

​

I have been collecting antiques for as long as I can remember.  I have always loved and owned English Setters and love the feel of them curled up around my feet as I paint.

I am a proud mother of two and grandmother of four beautiful and talented girls.

I host workshops at my home in Zurich, Ontario and will travel just about anywhere to provide project or technique seminars - in oils or acrylic media. 

 

I would love it if you would come and paint with me.

I promise to share as much as possible with you and assist you on your road to your potential.
