I am one of those who awaits January. The fresh calendar, frozen landscape and clear skies inspire me. In the winter woods, silent scampers cross yesterday’s foot trail. Breathy frosts and papery footfalls pause between crow call and crystalline sky, and, spruce shadows taper their ink lines around the earths’ bulky mounds. I want to walk. “Freeze and Thaw” (purchased … Read More
Dreaming, Acrylic on Canvas, 19”X23”
My sunny family was like gold: two children, a dear husband, a struggling art career, and a lovely old home which we had renovated. Blessed. Within 10 years, cancer claimed my husband and the fear of lack compelled me to move to an apartment. I accepted a full time position teaching High School Visual Art. My children moved away … Read More
Water Lilies, Acrylic on Canvas, 20″ X 30”
“Show me the boat again Dad?”, I would ask on a sunny summer Sunday. That sunken boat was a great source of fright. As he told the story, my Grandfather was rowing rocks across the lake, and the old boat sank. I love lakes. Lake water is dark, scary, unfathomable.

It inspires delight and inspiration and is a good metaphor about seeing. Painted details, such as branches on individual trees, suggest the artist understands structure; generalized brushes of tone and colour suggest edgeless knowledge of one’s subject. … Read More

Beginning with two of the artists planning to show together, three additional artists were quickly added with the idea being individual displays revolving around the differences between the artists’ work. The exhibit title Art 5 (Art to the … Read More
Moon over Marsh
“Moon over Marsh” (12”X 12” acrylic on plywood) has just been purchased by the Town of Truro, N.S. It was created years ago during the months following the passing of my husband. At the time I tried to document the passing of time by painting the full moon each month. There were months when I did not paint: December, April, … Read More
