I have taught from my home studio (Village Decorative Art Studio) for a number of years in many styles and levels of painting including pen & ink and oil rouging.

   I am basically self taught and have learned from many of the “Big Brushes” such as Maureen McNaughton, Jo Avis Moore, Johnnie Liliedahl, Mary McCullah, Claudia Nice and especially Mary Owens. Not only am I a CMOT; but I have also achieved my CSE (Canadian Standard of Excellence) in colour theory, primitives and waterdrops. I am also a member of SCP, SDAN & VPON.

   I try to  keep up to date with the latest products and techniques and I love to pass this onto my students!

   My studio is nestled in the quiet village of Fenwick, Ontario, Canada, a short distance from St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, and Welland. So come visit soon and bring your appetite for painting.
