WHAT’S ON MY EASEL?
AS CREATIVE, MY EASEL IS WHEREVER I PROJECT MY DREAMS!
As the summer slips away rather gracefully this year, I find myself energized and eager to embark on new adventures. September, maybe because I am a teacher, always feels like a good time begin things.
So, after a summer of reflection and preparation, I feel ready to launch new adventures. Some, like my completed paintings, are ready to go forth into various exhibition spaces, to be discovered, and hopefully move on to new homes. You can learn about my exhibition schedule at

Some of the work I completed this summer involved streamlining and improving my website:

Once you go to my website, you can explore the pages I have developed and improved greatly over the summer. My artwork is now gathered in collections. When you find the piece you just can’t resist, you can just click on Learn More to land in my Products section, all ready for purchase.
I have rebranded the site as well, to include recent photos and all my favourite colours. I hope you like it!
Of course, my life is never complete without travel. I will soon fly to Portugal to visit my family, and I except to return inspired and inspired. New landscapes, new colour palettes, new stimulation for my senses: what’s not to love!
In addition to creating art, I am also involved in the art community in my region. I will be animating art workshops at the Oasis Créatif in Vaudreuil on the following Mondays, from 11 am to 4 pm
October 6 from 11 am-4 9m October 27 from 11 am to 4 pm

I have many more projects in the works, to be further developed upon my return. Stay tuned for lots of interesting developments.

Until then, I hope to see you at one (or several) of my upcoming exhibits.

eing an artist means living with a an ever-evolving vision of myself. As I explore my world, I discover that creativity is a tapestry, one unique to every weaver. I have been exploring various threads of creative work throughout my life, but as I age, I have become more focused on weaving, braiding , the threads into a large body of work. I am a painter, a writer, and a teacher. Creativity has always been the process that feeds my growth, and it has cited me with a priceless resource: resilience. So, to honour this gift, I am preparing a course that will guide you through a process
