Born in Montreal, I
have been involved in the arts from a very early age and reveled in
drawing faces of people, capturing their individuality. As well, I
have painted several backdrops for concerts and plays, where I
performed in music during my own school years and then in those of
my children.
Earlier on, I was
primarily involved in the art of music. Drawing and painting were
always on the threshold of my endeavors during that time, and I
always felt that music and painting were so intricately woven into
each other. However, I continue to hone my skills in various mediums
and abstract styles but always incorporating faces somewhere.
Lately, I have become
somewhat of an art activist for the preservation of our planet.
Teaching art to children has given me a greater insight on the
subject, as I truly believe we learn a great deal as we teach. I
taught art in schools, and more recently I taught art as therapy at
the C.L.S.C. in Pointe-Claire.
I am presently
specializing in portraiture and have completed several commissioned
portraits and have participated in several juried exhibitions, some
of which are Stewart Hall, La Maison Trestler, Brownsburg, Chatham,
Tudor Hall, Ogilvy, Arbour Galley, VanKleek Hill, Dorval Community
Centre, Patelliste de l'est du Canada and Harwood Gallery (the
latter of which I organized for our AHA group). I have also donated
many paintings to charitable organizations. One which I regularly
donate to is the Literacy Association.
In the past I have
exhibited twice yearly at Womens' Art Society of Montreal,
Beaconsfield Art Assoc., and am presently a member of the Hudson Art
Association.
