The Long Version
I live in Bradford, Ontario with my husband and our little dog, Feebe. I paint with watercolours and acrylics and I enjoy painting with a limited palette. Watercolour wax batik is a technique that continues to intrigue me. Lately, instead of mounting and framing these watercolour wax batik paintings, I have been adhering them to gallery wrapped canvases. My subject matter is pretty eclectic at this point in time, though fairies are the subject that my heart still finds most near and dear. I also write, mostly poetry, and my perfect artist day is when one of my paintings inspires me to write a poem. I enjoy sharing some of these painting / poem combinations in this website and during the monthly meetings of The BWG Writers' Circle.
In August of 2021, I was one of the eleven BWG Passion Made Artisans whose work was videoed in a spectacular outdoor setting and posted on YouTube and other social media. Check it out at bwgpassionmadeartisan.ca. For my personal 15 seconds of fame, see the exhibitors section for my name:)
My future painting aims are to create more painting and poetry combinations. My latest exciting art event is that the small group of us who paint together now have a name and a new banner that reads Art by Silver Brushes.
