​I am a Canadian artist living in Toronto, Ontario originally from Peterborough, Ontario where at a young age, I showed a love for art and my mother encouraged me by sending me to private art classes at age ten where I learned perspective and basics of light, shadow and the use of oil paints. I developed a love of nature as we lived very close to a local creek and plenty of woodlands surrounded us, and I would go hiking for hours along the creek banks and through the woods with a friend my own age.

 

At age fourteen, I was one of three youth who took several art weekend workshops along with adult members of two art associations, and based on our attitude and work ethic, the leadership decided to open their membership to young artists. One of the visiting art professionals stated my de plein air painting while I was on location, said that it looked like Monet's painting and suggested I study his work. At fourteen, I entered my first juried art show, presenting a cat and a horse study.

 

In high school I study art and after, I joined my parents in Australia and was I was delighted by the people, raw scenery, botanical gardens  and the great art in the galleries.

 

Returning to Canada, I married and travelled often with my husband to his native Greece to meet his wonderful family and see this beautiful country. Cuba was also our frequent holiday destination as well, and I was touched by the generous people, colourful homes, and the tropical flowers.  In my mid-fifties, I returned to painting. I have had the opportunity to do a few live prophetic paintings during church service, which is been an inspiring, uplifting experience.  

 

My art is represented from 2017 to present at the Prophetics Gallery an online gallery that features art by Christians with a variety of themes ranging from landscapes to specifically Christian and prophetic themes. The gallery is in North Carolina. Click here to see my page on the site where you will see a few of my landscape paintings available in print:
