Switching to watercolour was a major step to a freer expression style. Now working in both acrylic and watercolour. A founding member and past-president of the Oakville Art Society she also helped in the early development of Gairloch Gallery. Her work has been exhibited throughout Ontario and was included in an exhibition organized by the Town of Oakville and sent to Japan. Travel to many different parts of the world has broadened her landscape experience - painting the Andes in Ecuador and Peru, icebergs in Chili and the Sahara Desert in Morocco has added to her appreciation of our our own rockie mountains. Frequent sketching trips to Killarney, Haliburton and Muskoka each year provide added stimulus. Being an avid gardener, she paints in her own garden in the summer months and is currently working on a series of "fence paintings" - weather proofed for outdoor use. Her identity as an artist is related entirely to her early childhood in Cobalt where nature was her constant companion.
