THE ABOVE PIECE IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC QUILT OF SELF PORTRAITS TITLED
'UNLEASHING THE FEMALE GAZE'
It was exhibited in the OKWA Show 'GENDER BIAS' at the Tett Centre, Kingston in 2018.
I have spent my life exploring a variety of creative media, including painting, sculpture, home and landscape design, and also writing both a travel memoir and publishing my poetry.
As a member of Gallery 121 in Belleville and the Organization of Kingston Women Artists (OKWA) since 2008, I have exhibited in several locations throughout Ontario in group and solo exhibitions.
An avid traveler, I visited many countries in North, South and Central America and Europe, exploring different cultures and cuisines.
I graduated from the Artist-in-Community-Education Programme at Queens' University (B. Ed.) and became a teacher at an international school in Medellin, Colombia, living in the Andes and learning Spanish.
Upon my return to Canada I taught in a variety of elementary schools.
Digital photography has been a very effective means of documenting and sharing my experiences and holding onto wonderful memories.....
I now enjoy retirement and am focused on further exploring both painting and writing.
