Colourful Contemporary Art

My mixed media work is inspired by my life long fascination with fossils, the subject matter is often pollinators and their habitats, this reflection of my environmental concerns is the motivation of much of my work.

I teach drawing, painting, and mixed media, in both private and group lessons. I firmly believe that all people have a need to create, and I delight in helping my students find their creative self. Check out my workshop and classes page.

I also teach mini workshop called pARTys. You invite some friends, I bring the art supplies, and we play!

This is a great team building program or girls night out designed for both the artist and the non-artist.

Partys take approximately 2 hours and are done either in your location or at the Art Emporium in Port Stanley.

I also accept commissioned work, either mixed media or portrait.

Studio visits by luck, or by appointment are welcome.

Holiday Painters Challenge




Kim Harrison likes to say that artists look for problems to solve, and if they can't find one, they create it.
So, true to form, when 'Creative Catalyst', one of the art newsletters I get, posted a challenge called the 'holiday paintout', I took up the gauntlet.


Each Tuesday a word is posted in the newsletter, and we're to create a piece based on it, which is proving to be tough, and this is only the first week!


The word of the week was community, the first painting was a disaster. This (2nd painting) is barely recognisable as my style of work, but here for posterity is my effort.


If you like brain benders, you should take up the challenge too.
