I
grew up in Victoria and was introduced to art through High School classes. After receiving an undergraduate degree from
UVic, I spent many years living and working in Alberta. I completed my graduate degrees at the
University of Calgary and worked in a variety of sectors that included: television, healthcare, municipal government
and education. I just recently retired
from the University of Calgary, Faculty of Social Work.
I
enjoyed painting as a young person but put it aside, for several years, while
concentrating on parenting and career development. However, while living and working in the
Middle East I took a drawing course and re-discovered my love of drawing and
painting. Since returning to Canada in
2002 and Victoria in 2006, I have taken a variety of workshops with local
artists to learn and develop new ideas and techniques.
Although my first love is watercolour, I continue to experiment with acrylic and pastel. Travel destinations are often a source of my subject matter as well as the beauty of the West Coast. I am a member of the Victoria Sketch Club and the Windsor Park Art Club.
