"I have painted on and off while I have lived in Canada. I would have liked to have painted all the time but it didn't work out that way. I've tried to collect milestones along the way and impressions of each year and then incorporate this into my art. I like to paint the scenery of my surroundings using mixed media in a unique style. The goal of my painting is to give people 'peace', whoever and wherever they are."
