Two years after I retired from teaching in 2001, I studied painting
and drawing at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario. I have
won awards at fairs, exhibit my work at local shows, and
welcome commissioned portrait opportunities. A member of
the Barrie Art Club, I will exhibit in various galleries.
Preferring to work with human or animal subjects, I desire to
capture the spirituality of all of God’s creations with a realistic
image. Graphite emphasizes the primitive light and shadow,
while acrylics magnify the beauteous glory of the spirit. Time
passes. I preserve precious moments.
