After a successful career doing something very far removed from art - I decided it was time for a change. I took a course at the Art Gallery of Ontario and found my true passion was painting. I continue to find joy in painting - currently at the Toronto School of Art.

Figurative work is central to my art. My visual pieces are a reflection of what is germane in my life and therefore revolve around the evolution of spirituality, the search for meaning, the practice of yoga - and especially women and their diverse manifestations of beauty.

I am fascinated by the interaction between the written word and visual images - much of my work examines the energy that occurs when poetry and art connect - art that moves.

I also feel blessed to have worked extensively with children on large scale outdoor art projects. Bringing the joy and spontaneity of kid's creativity to life - besides being intensely satisfying - adds playful energy to my own art. I am very thankful for these opportunities to help students enhance their playgrounds and drab public school hallways.

In addition to painting I have a successful line of greeting cards - you can also order and view the cards on this site. I am excited to be working on yoga-themed accessories and textiles. Watch for details here!
