The End!

My Styles

My creations tend to live in the nature-based and whimsical realms, but I enjoy creating all kinds of art.  Drawing, painting, photography, digital, poetry.

My Accomplishments

I'm a professional artist with lifetime experience.  I have sold at art shows and online, as well as through commissions.  I also own my own face painting business working with the kiddos in my community, putting smiles on faces by way of colour and form and the latest, coolest butterfly mash-ups and superhero masks --- I find this deeply rewarding.  I've won prize money in photography and receive accolades for my work in all mediums.
Brag, brag --- that's enough.

My Stories

I'm a little old lady artist, sipping tea and banging art with my little old lady artist friends.  A good day is a creative day.  Decades of pencils and paint and film photography… now into an era of art online and going digital, digital, digital. 

 

My first camera was a gift from my auntie when I was just a kiddo back in the days of film... a little Kodak Instamatic.  My heart would soar when I could manage to scrape enough pennies together to have the film developed and then to further see my creations once picked up from the pharmacy.  They came in a little paper envelope and it was delightful to sift through them.  In middle school I was fortunate to be nominated for a photography enrichment program by a kindly teacher who saw my potential.  I was accepted and thrived,  Today I have moved on to digital photography and scanography and I find it mesmerizing to try out the plethora of options we now have these days for creating images.

​

While I did well in other subjects during my school days, art, of course, was my favourite and I managed quite well.  To this day I still feel aggrieved over the memory of my 1st grade teacher's assistant expecting me to incorrectly label the colour tiles she held up during testing.  "Mulberry" I would state.  "No", she would say, "this is red" with a perplexed look upon her face.  "Aqua" I would state.  "No", she would say, "this is blue".  *sigh*  I had to be patient with her, but it was difficult... I was 5 years old!  So funny.  By 9th grade I was being featured on the walls of my school and was further sent off for a special evening at a high school studio in the big city, a privilege reserved for a select few students.

​

What seems now like eons ago, a friend from one of my women's art groups got in touch to see if I would be willing to fill in for her doing face painting at a local semi-weekly music and light festival.  She ended up giving it up completely.  I loved it so much I decided to turn it into a business!  Decades later I have painted countless faces in my community, along with arms, feet and knees, and even a baby bump.

​

As an adult, women's and community art groups of all sorts were a real draw for me.  I finally had the wherewithal to try out an endless array of materials and colours and I to this day cannot get enough of it.  My studio is stacked with papers and paints and tapes and canvases and and and!  My latest creation adventures involve a lot of online platforming and networking.  I look forward to seeing what the years to come will bring for me in the way of colour and light and texture and mediums.  My muses are always with me.

​

P.S.  I also love writing poetry and memoirs and more, but that's another story for another time.  Thanks for sticking around to the end.
