Artist Statement

Nobody is really ready to Retire! Although, I've always enjoyed making art, I have had many roles in my life so far- student, teacher, mother, wife, farmer, and now painter! I paint what I want and where ever my brush takes me! I usually paint in acrylics and oils. I like mark making, textures and patches of colours. This last year I have been evolving into abstraction. As I have gradually changed from a Career-controlled pace of life to a life with a pace that I can control, I have spent more time just enjoying my experiences with my own art making. I have explored and played with different mediums and various techniques. Self-directed creativity isn’t easy!
