Hailing from the West, I lived on the mountain in North Vancouver, BC until my teens. In those days, the wilderness near our home was truly undeveloped, and I spent many hours hiking and exploring the coastal wilds. I think from those early days I learned to be deeply connected to the landscape around me.
I came to Haliburton County in 1977, believing it would be a short stay. Now having raised my two sons in this visually rich and caring place, I feel this is my true home. The natural beauty I find around me is my deepest source of inspiration.
Over the years, I have experimented with the fabric medium through quilting, wall hangings and other original designs, but it is my current technique of layering fabric to create perspective and mood that best captures the images I want to share.
I joined the Haliburton Highlands Studio Tour in 2000. That initial tour marked the beginning of an exciting time in my life, focusing on creating and showing my work, teaching my technique to students, and meeting other artists and people like yourself who value original artwork. I have been deeply honoured by the response to my work.
