I was born in England and attended a convent
school there. Our family emigrated to Canada where I completed my
secondary and post-secondary art studies in Montreal, Edmonton and
Vancouver. I have worked in art education in both the Catholic and
Public school systems teaching children art from kindergarten to
Grade 12, while continually working on my art. I have retired from
teaching and now pursue my art full-time.
As a professional artist, my work has always dealt with the sense of
sacredness in 'self' and the holiness of life. From the beginning of
my art career, I have worked in the area of metaphysics in the
expressionist tradition and seek the expression of spiritual love.
I have continually exhibited my work in private, cooperative and
provincial galleries and was selected to participate in the 'Prix
International d'Art Contemporain' in Monte Carlo.
Although trained in the modern art tradition, since 1999 I have been
working in iconography, the sacred art tradition of the Eastern and
Western Church. I currently work from a Port Moody studio run by
the Arts Council, and from my home studio. I have been a member of
the Epiphany Sacred Arts Guild Executive since it began general
meetings and have curated some of their biennial juried shows.
