I was introduced to painting as a child. My mother, Jane Davies, largely painted botanicals and scenes looking out various windows of our home. Though she had bipolar disorder and being parented by someone with a mental illness had its challenges, love for art is something that brought us together and I continue a passion for painting.

I am a fine art grad from McMaster University. I followed this up with studies in Education and taught young artists for nearly three decades. My work has been featured in juried shows, art auctions and exhibitions.

My artwork has an energy of movement. It is about excitement.

I work from a studio space in my Oakville home.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My acrylic paintings on canvas can be described as Cubist inspired and maximalist. I love colour and overlapping shapes that create an ambiguity of space. I want the viewer to get lost in my tangled interesting spaces. My paintings grow with the viewer as something new can be discovered over time.
