I have been painting for 35 years in my studio and out on location. Landscapes, Animals, Vintage and plein air are in my collections. 

Honoured to have received my AFCA - Associate Signature Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and my SCA as an Elected Member with Society of Canadian Artists.

Studied at Alberta College of Art, Burlington Art Centre & University of Calgary. Studied under Robert Genn, Mike Svob, Brian Atyeo, Gaye Adams, and other Canadian Artists through workshops.

In 2013, accepted as Artist in Residence at The Banff Centre for one month and again in 2014. 

My paintings have been featured in Arabella Magazine 2017. Painted for corporate/themed events and private commissions. Have received Honourable Mentions from The Federation of Canadian Artists and FASO.

Created artwork for the Calgary Public Library, the Calgary Zoo, Calgary Board of Education, East Slope Studios, Silver Moon Productions, Studio Y Creations, Anne Murphy Designed Events and “Udderly Art” – Calgary Cow Project. Taught painting classes to aspiring artists for 12 years. Volunteered my time on collaborative projects to benefit many organizations across Alberta. Often painting LIVE for various Fund Raising Events.

I had the pleasure of organizing and participating in plein air painting trips in Alberta, Victoria, B.C. and Sedona.
