After moving to Hamilton, I was inspired by Tim Daniels and his wonderfully colourful art to paint in pastels. In 2006 I was juried into the 15th Annual Purely Pastels Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Hamilton where I received an Honourable Mention. That was the spark I needed to seriously continue working with pastels. My pastels have been showcased in four solo shows and juried into multiple group exhibitions. I am fortunate to have my work collected locally and internationally as well as
to have it published.
It was recently
showcased in France’s “Pratique des Arts Magazine”. I received my Master Pastel Artist (MPAC) Signature designation from Pastel Artists
Canada in 2014 and was elected a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA) in 2016. I am also a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and the International Association of Pastel Societies. I am proud to be represented by Earls Court Gallery in Hamilton, Ontario.
