About
Early on, I shared my love of music and art with my kids, who now share that love with me. While working as a veterinarian. I started painting and drawing portraits of my patients, turning them into cards and selling them as fundraisers for a local animal rescue group, which even awarded a few commissions. My more recent adventure has led me into abstract art, using mostly acrylics and some collage - always with a scrap of sheet music buried in almost every painting. Expressing myself through color and sound is like breathing…absolutely essential! I love bold, bright colours. Painting frees me to express my real self. Life places many burdens on all of us, but art let’s me live outside the box!
