"River Crossing" Waxed Gouache on  12"X16" paper -  framed. 

A group of riders and horses were crossing a glacier fed river in Iceland. The image speaks to me of the natural movements between that of the horses and the river in the rugged Icelandic landscape.

"Movement in Time" is a 8"X8" waxed gouache on paper  - framed. This piece depicts a group of people moving in front of a window and exterior clock face. I took a photo of this composition  when visiting the Museum D'Orsay in Paris in 2014 and was struck by the play of light and shadow as people walked past the framed time piece not seeing themselves as a work of art in real time.

About Me

My Happy Place...

is painting and drawing anywhere/anytime, especially en plein air when accompanied by a like-minded group of artists in a new and exciting environment. 

Experience

Art is my passion! As a lifelong learner, I have taken many art classes and workshops over the years.  I have also been very fortunate to travel to other parts of the world and study with internationally known artists, which have greatly influenced my plein air painting style. I am so thankful to see this amazing life through an artist's eyes. 


While working and raising a family, I struggled to find the time and energy to grow my art practice, but I am very excited to embrace the gift of time, now that retirement is here! 


I am a member of the Allied Arts Council in Spruce Grove, Alberta, and I have recently taken on the role of President. I am thrilled to work with our wonderfully creative artist community, as we continue to facilitate cultural events and organize art exhibitions and educational opportunities in our area.

Education

In 2006, I graduated from the University of Alberta Faculty of Extension with a Fine Arts Certificate. During my time there, I had several successful art exhibitions, showcasing my oil, pastel and acrylic paintings, collages, and intaglio prints. 

I am looking forward to finding new venues and ways to grow and share my art work.

The following pieces were exhibited in the Allied Arts Council of Spruce Grove 2026 Juried Members Art Show in March.

Fishing boats on a beach.

"Barco Mimosa" 18" X 36" Acrylic on Canvas framed. These famed fishing boats are stationed on the beautiful beach in the Nazare',  Portugal area. 

My husband and I loved our time exploring the ancient fishing village,  walking the expansive waterfront and up onto the Sitio' headland for the incredible full circle views of the coastal area.

Thanks to Chris for being so supportive and generous!!!!

4 separate paintings of a women and child in front of sections of Van Gogh's paintings projected on

4 ea 8"x"8" acrylic paintings on 2.5" wide canvases of my daughter-in-law and granddaughter walking among projected images of Van Gogh's paintings at the Imagine Van-Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition held in July 2021 in Edmonton, AB. We had a wonderful experience  there and what an amazing way for people to be introduced to Vincent's art!

River cascading over mountainous terrain.

"McDonald Creek" 12"X16" Oil painting on panel - framed . This piece represents the beautiful mountain creek cascading down from the mountains in Glacier National Park in Montana. I wanted to explore the intense color and texture of  the landscape using a palette knife and lots of juicy paint.

      I would love to share what's new and exciting in my art life, including my latest acrylic painting techniques and upcoming art exhibitions. I'm also thrilled to mention my experiences with plein air painting, particularly at the Spruce Grove Art Gallery, where I often showcase my work alongside fellow artists like Cathy Lea Scott.

      I would love to hear from anyone interested in exploring my acrylic painting collection and what pieces are available for purchase. Additionally, if someone has a favorite photo they would like to have recreated in paint, perhaps in a plein air painting style, please feel free to contact me, and we can discuss the details. I also invite you to visit the Spruce Grove Art Gallery for upcoming art exhibitions featuring my work. Thank you!
