A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.  – Paul Cezanne – 1839 -1906

I was born in 1943 in South Africa and immigrated to Canada to reside in the Comox Valley in 2001.
Under the guidance and inspiration of my art teacher and mentor, Saskia King, I discovered at the age of 60 that I could paint and at last ….  I had found my passion.
I work in oil on canvas and am influenced by the vibrancy, adventure and magic of color.  My subject matter varies from still life to nudes.
