“Along the road, I find places of peace and quiet, Places of rocks and sea and sky, Now etched upon my soul and mind, Sights and sounds to make me whole.” That is how I feel about painting, about seeing and being present to what life offers me. As an environmental geoscientist, I have worked all over northern Canada. I am l awed by the vast beauty of the north, by the imprint of time and climate on the land. Since living on the coast, I love the everchanging play of sky and sea. I love people watching, catching moments of every day life, those special and peaceful moments that make the mosaic of our days, with family, with friends, and in our communities.

I borrow this artist statement by artist John Stuart Pryce, from Victoria, as it is so fitting to me: “My goal is to share with other what my eyes see, my heart feels, and my soul yearns to understand. Each painting has a unique story and message and I strive to share that experience as eloquently and creatively as possible.” So well said, I cannot really add to his statement.
