    Biography

    My first painting that everyone talks about happened when I was about 3 years old and I physically painted my dog with glue made from horses hooves.  He loved the taste of the glue but my parents and grandparents were not impressed!

    My family owned a gallery and picture framing shop so I was always surrounded by wonderful art.  I started taking classes at the Edmonton Art Gallery at about 8 years of age and continued classes into adulthood at the University of Alberta.  Through our gallery, I was able to run workshops with many outstanding artists.

    When I started to teach art, my own style started to develop although I was always experimenting so I never really stuck with one thing.  My work includes watercolour, pastel, printmaking and acrylic but currently mainly mixed media. I also love to work with polymer art clay, making one of a kind jewellery and 3 D pieces.   My passion has been sharing and working with students of all ages and I learned so much from my students.
