About the Artist
Forever and always I have adored pretty things. To be present in beautiful environments fills me with joy. In Weyburn, Saskatchewan where I grew up, art was not “taught” as a subject so it didn't occur to me to pursue this endeavour. A single experience early in adulthood answered any questions I might have had as to my artistic ability. It was abysmal; the end of it.
Or so I thought. Rounding a corner on a road that was not really a road a few years ago in Iceland, I came upon an ancient bicycle decorated with hanging baskets of flowers. My immediate reaction was, “I want to paint this!". That bolt out of the blue came as a shocker. But it was the catalyst that started my foray into the wonderful world of art and oil painting.
Married to Bob for what seems like my whole life, we have three sons and their wives who reside in the USA, and five wonderful grandchildren. My former “incarnations” are RN, owner of a disability case management company, founder of Curves in Canmore, and currently owner of Loosey Goosey Art Studios & Gallery in Canmore, Alberta. The best is yet to come .....
