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