It was a love for colour which originally drew me to paint. My first creative outlet was a successful career in fashion design and merchandising. Amidst the reams of fabrics, patterns and colours, my passion for painting began to emerge.
The classical works of J.M. William Turner were some of my greatest inspirations. Through my love of nature, light, and travel experiences, my personal technique and style began to evolve. My work is emotive and inspirational. As I softly blend layers of paint and mixed media I am able to express my perception of the world and gently place it into the heart of the viewer.
I studied art at McGill University, the Saidye Bronfman Centre, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Avenue Road Art School, and The Koffler Gallery. I also had the opportunity to participate in an intensive painting workshop in France. I was involved in a painting mentor program with an established Toronto artist for two years. My work has exhibited in many galleries and shows, and included in several private and corporate art collections throughout Canada and the United States.
