I was born and raised in Vancouver. As a child, I took classes at the Vancouver Art Gallery including the plein air series for children, Art in the Park. Art was my passion and I drew, sculpted and painted as often as I could.

Secondary school brought curricular demands that did not allow me to continue to take art classes in school, but there were still summer classes and art books to keep me moving forward. Prince of Wales Secondary had a very active Fine Arts Club. My oils were often sold through shows put on by this group.

At UBC I took design and art history courses, but I came to realize that teaching would be my career. I trained as a secondary teacher with English and French as my areas of expertise. During my career as a teacher I have taught pottery and a few art classes.

In the last 12 years, I have come back to my art with renewed passion and energy. I have studied with many well known artists who have come to Kamloops, where I now live. I was juried into Active Status as a member of the TNS Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists and now serve on the Executive.

My work has been shown locally. I have received two Chapter Choice entries into our local FCA juried shows. At the Shuswap Festival of the Arts, my painting was awarded a Juror's Choice. Other shows include: Kamloops Watermedia, Creative Artists, Artists Ten, Juniper Ridge Show, Kamloops Juried Show, and Communities in Bloom. Now that I am retired, I hope to enter more juried shows

Painting for me is mostly an opportunity for reflection on how all things on this earth are connected. Pointillism, my painting style, helps me understand this deeply as dots blend with dots to describe and define shapes to cause a stone become the air and the air become a stone. This seems how the earth is as I meditate about and work the image. Colours simply amplify my energy as I'm led to explore and discover."

My artistic horizons were defined from the start of my vocation. I knew from very early on that I did not want to be an artist whose paintings are used only to adorn or fill empty, tedious or unsophisticated space. Through painting, I have been able to find myself and communicate in spiritual form with others.

Terencio's phrase, �I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me" expresses my basic existential preoccupation. In a world of constant convulsions, I have a human commitment to document what I see and feel. This puts no subject matter off limits to me. Pain, loneliness, anger, injustice & hope have often motivated me to face a blank canvass. My spirit reacts, twists, reflects, and finishes doing the essential: expressing itself with vigor onto the canvas.
