Artist's Statement:

Drawing and painting gives me great pleasure...

From early childhood, drawing has been part of my life. Marriage, work, family and a lack of formal art training did deter me for several years but a friend peaked my interest in oil paints and so began my love affair with art. It has been an interesting journey since then and I have dabbled in many of the various mediums, expressing them on paper or canvas.

When I begin to draw and paint, my whole being moves into another world. Colours and shapes take over and time has no boundaries for me. I see beauty in nature and in the things that surround me and I strive to capture them in an artistic way.

Producing what I see, feel, and create brings challenge and satisfaction. The style of my works are considered Representational, and it is this likeness of what I see before me or that I have retained in my memory that gives me the most satisfaction.
