I have loved to draw and paint my entire life and enjoyed some formal training in England before emigrating to Canada at age 21.  Over the years of working and raising a family, the love of art has always been a part of my true self and I've managed to dabble in many different mediums.  Now that I am retired, it has been a magical joy to explore the world of canvas and studio time with like minded crazy people.   It is a marvelous thing to me that, in the sands of my existence, a few footprints will be left behind.
