Artist Statement:

I live on Vancouver Island, and I am continually inspired by the beauty that I see around me every day. The scenery changes with the seasons and offers different views that suit different moods. I also have a large garden which supplies me with subject matter on a more intimate level. The textures and colors of the flowers and foliage are a continual challenge. Capturing the effect of light and mood are a motivating factor that continues to inspire.
