I am a retired educator who put aside my art in order to raise a family & pursue a career. Upon retiring, I decided to renew my love of painting. I paint in both watercolours & acrylics and take my inspiration from the natural environment around me on the coast. I use both wide & closeup views to convey the essence of what captures me visually. What was it that made me stop and look more closely? When you look at one of my paintings, I hope that you will see it through my eyes & that it will take you to somewhere special. Check my FB and Instagram pages to see lots of photos and videos.
