After an intense and time-consuming career as a Certified Management Accountant, I retired with my husband and Siamese cat to our straw-bale home on a small acreage in the South Okanagan. I joined a local art group in 2015, discovered collage as my medium using paper and other recycled materials and completed my first collage that spring. My images combines big-picture perspective, a fascination with the variability of life and attention to detail that worked so well during my work life.
A rockhound since I was a girl on the north coast of Vancouver Island, I love to be on the land. My efforts to build on my canvas the towering basalt columns, rocky debris-strewn bluffs, rolling grasslands, alpine hillsides, snow-piled mountains, tide-churned beaches, sky-filled water reflections or wind- and -water tortured coastline of our unique countryside were each a challenge and a labour of love.
