My love of art and all things creative started when I was very young and was introduced to watercolours, oils and later, acrylics.  At the present, however, I am known primarily for my ceramic creations.

In 2016, following a lot of red tape and ‘jumping through hoops, I was accepted as a Mature Student at OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design University) in Toronto.  My learning experience there opened up another world of creative possibilities for me, using materials and applying techniques I had not used before.  I became smitten with wood and fibres using them to create 3-D shapes, patterns and textures in uniquely beautiful ways.   Incorporating these different materials, techniques and expressive styles into my art needed me to re-invent myself.

Today, I am a Freestyle Artist working in both 2D and 3D formats.  Pushing beyond the confines of innate material characteristics, traditional techniques and rigid themes is challenging and mentally stimulating for me.   I wait for the material to tell me what to do.  Then, I create, using materials in untraditional, unusual, or previously unthought-of ways.

My upcoming Facebook and Instagram pages will feature select pictures of material fibre and wood artworks, abstracts,  3D decoupage bowls.  (I will include some pottery as well!)
