About

In 2010, after careers as a public school teacher, educational consultant, University professor, and president of a Christian humanitarian organization I chose to revisit my childhood dream of being an artist– to push past my fears and to follow my bliss – to immerse myself completely in the visual arts. I have felt like a kid in a candy store as I explore a wide range of media and techniques and I’ve been having the time of my life!

Each experience has opened the door of possibilities for what I can do and say through art. I use the materials and processes that best suit the task – painting animal and human portraits and figures or abstracts in acrylic; using collage to capture a client’s personal history; carving in stone, body casting, bending wire or shaping metal to portray the human form in 3 dimension; or welding steel to create a graceful horse or an artistic piece of furniture. I savour the meditative solitude of art making but relish even more the joyful responses that can come when my art connects to the viewer and satisfies a client.
