A member of the Stonewall Art Group and President of the Prairie Oak Regional Arts Council
Founder of the Annual South of The Lakes Art Tour
Born in Whitemouth, Manitoba, I attended school and spent all my recesses time drawing the models on magazines. As a teenager I became a playground instructor and attended the Gimli Arts Camp put on by Culture and Heritage in the summers and their monthly sessions over the winters . There my drawings became more dimensional and I gained a love of painting. After High School I attended RRCC and took Advertising Art. While there I took evening classes at the Forum Art Institute.
After College I worked at Sanford Evans Publishing in the art department. I married and while raising two children I freelanced for three promotional companies in Winnipeg. We moved to Stonewall in 1998 and the creative part of my life came to the forefront again. I have been a member of PORAC since 1999 and of the Stonewall Art Group since 2000. I helped host two Interlake Juried Art Shows where I was fortunate enough to win some ribbons and displayed these pieces at the Legislative building in Winnipeg.
I teach arts enrichment classes in three local schools in the spring and fall and at our summer arts camp. I have chaired the South of the Lakes Art Tour for five years now and am preparing for the next one in September. I have done murals at the Rockwood Motor Inn , Quilters Cottage , and sell my work from various stores in Stonewall and Selkirk. I have donated pieces to the Project Linus, Tsunami Relief and the Angel Network. Through Interlake Tourism, I have painted and displayed at the Forks, the Prairie Dog Central Station, in Warren and at the Red River Ex . I paint in acrylics, always have, and love the versatile nature of the medium. Animals and children are my favorite subjects along with a passion for fantasy. “Creativity is a real, natural, high. It’s contagious and limitless in its conception and execution.”
