Office worker by day and an artist by night!  I enjoy painting abstracts in acrylics as well as carting my camera around the city. Not enough hours in the day to capture all that beauty.

My long-time artistic muse is Helen Reddy.

A special thank you to Barbara Klunder for her incredible encouragement all those years ago.  She has always been my favourite artist!

Other amazing creative souls who have influenced my work include Helen Frankenthaler,
Dale Chihuly, June Pham, Robert Farmer, Sandra A. Morris, Joey DAMMIT!, Leslie F. Miller, and Jackson Pollock.

Sandra Shamas makes me laugh like no other and her words and stories inspire me to be true to my art.

If you are interested in purchasing any of my paintings, please contact me through My Guestbook.

Thank you for your kind comments and continued support of my art.
