.“Only art penetrates … the seeming realities of this world. There is another reality,
​the genuine one, which we lose sight of. This other reality is always sending us hints, which without art, we can’t receive.”
 
​
-- Saul Bellow asserted in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech
.


What a privilege it is to paint!
Inspiration comes to me from travelling – Arizona, Oregon, Cape Cod, Italy, Israel –
from my flower gardens and from the particular magic of the changing seasons.
I have always been inspired by art.
For years, I expressed my longing to create art through flower arranging
and knitting, and even cake decorating.
In 1995, I discovered that I could paint!
Inspired by an accomplished watercolourist friend, I just started to experiment.
My early work was of ocean shores and scenes of Cape Cod.
Since then, I have explored acrylics and am now painting in oils.
While I enjoyed my early explorations of watercolour,
the richness of colour and texture found in oils and acrylics expresses best
the richness of life that I see in the world around me.
I received my Certificate of Fine Arts from St. Lawrence College.


My paintings are now exhibited locally and in Calgary, Cape Cod, Texas,
Gatineau Quebec, and Morocco.
