Born in Toronto, Ontario, I realized that in my youth, doing any form of art put me into a very relaxed state of mind. Whenever I received recognition from my peers, it made me very happy. My parents realized that I showed some talent, and they encouraged me to draw, colour, or anything else artsy that took me in that direction (the walls were off limit - as I found out!)
I entered an art contest in grade 8 with my painting of Baby Huey the Duck, and won an honorary award. I also took lessons on how draw portraits, especially of live models at the MSH School of Art in Toronto, which was quite an interesting and amazing experience.
In the 1970's I worked in Accounting at a few Advertising firms, and in 1978, met my future husband. In 1980, my daughter and I picked up our roots and moved to London, Ontario where we became a family. I found employment at the University of Western Ontario and worked in Accounts Payable for 29 years with free time taking courses on administration and art (for enjoyment), retiring in 2009. I now reside in Belmont with my daughter and son-in-law.
I look forward to meeting new artists, participating in art events, and continuing to grow as an artist.
ART MEMBERSHIPS:
