Artist Statement & Shows

I am an intuitive, passionate, late blooming, abstract painter, without formal training, who decided in 2015, with the help of Cameron’s The Artist Way, to make art after a 25-year absence. My working style and interests have evolved immensely and now I paint for selfcare, self-expression, the joy of color, lines, scale and space. It’s a meditative and spiritual practice infused with play and mostly trial and error. 

My pieces are big and small, subtle, bold, at times, semi-figurative but mostly abstract. 

September 2025, I was happy to participate in Richmond Hill’s Art Walk. August 2024, I had two paintings in the Gallery 1313 show. June 2023, I was invited to show my art at the Leslieville River Walk art show. I was honored to have two works in the Toronto Gallery 1313 new artist winter show. December 2021, I was invited to exhibit in the “I Am My Art” group show on King Street East. And just before the pandemic lockdown in February 2020, I was part of a group show at the Leslie Grove Gallery that focused on women’s mental health. I submitted my “Madman in the House” multi-media piece that I made with water color, ink and written text. My first group exhibition was at Sunnybrook Hospital with the Don Valley painting community in 2017.
