I have called the Ottawa Valley my home for the past 48 years. I love its history, the rugged landscapes, rivers and lakes and four seasons.

​

I have been inspired to paint scenes of rural nostalgia, wildlife, landscapes, flowers, people and even Christian themes which are a reflection of my faith. I also do commissions .

​

I live in the small town of Arnprior where the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers meet. My husband Ken and I live in an 1870's log home/studio in an old section of town. We have been married for 44 years, and have enjoyed a full life with many special memories. 

​

As well as painter of realistic oils, I have also worked for a lot of years as an art instructor and mentor to numerous students from the Valley. I love sharing my skills with others and watch them blossom as artists in their own right.
