- The creative juices are flowing, as everywhere I turn, the views are so inspiring here on the Sunshine Coast, such as this view I get to look at every morning from my kitchen!!
- I have been asked to donate a piece of art for an upcoming fundraiser for “50Women.ca” being held this Nov 16, 2024 at High Beam Dreams, Gibsons. I’m honoured to support this initiative to build a new housing facility here on the Coast for women and children in need. Please see this link to make a bid on the silent auction pieces! https://www.buildingtogether-sccss.ca/supporters/50-artists-for-sccss
- Back in May, 2024 I was selected to be featured on an Eastlink TV production of "Artist in the House". It was a great experience, the filming and the interview by fellow artist, Ed Hill, was really fun! The show premiered on August 14, 2024 on Eastlink.
- In October, 2023, I was excited and honoured to be one of the 36 Sunshine Coast Artists chosen for the Sechelt Hospital Foundation fundraising Gala event. I have donated a painting, “Joy Has No Age”, that was shown from Oct 21-23, 2023 at the Sunshine Coast Botanical Gardens and then auctioned off at the Gala event that weekend. The event was a great success!
- Every year the Sunshine Coast hosts a fabulous Art Crawl. There are over 150 artists all along this beautiful Coast displaying and selling their artwork. I have participated in five of these annual events since moving here and this year’s event was Oct. 18 - 19 - 20, 2024. It did not disappoint! Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and made this year’s crawl a great success! Plan for next year! www.sunshinecoastartcrawl.com
- Back in 2021, I teamed up with a Canadian clothing company, LeGaleriste, based in Montreal, that works with artists to integrate our artwork into fabric to create beautiful casual, formal and activewear ethically sourced clothing pieces and accessories (pillows, aprons, scarves, etc.). The photos in the title above are just three of the items available, featuring my artwork, “Through the Rain”, "Timeless" and “Pathways”. I'm very proud of this work and am excited to share the link to my personal site where you can purchase many items, including clothing, scarves & pillows. They can be shipped worldwide.

- From May 2022 - April 2023, my husband and I embarked on a huge sailing adventure where we lived on our sailboat while travelling through the USA from Maine to Florida. It was a great trip and we made some incredible memories. But, it’s very good to be back home and able to work in my studio again.
- In August 2024 I was again invited to participate in the GPAG show, Present Tense. My abstracted piece, "The Oblivion of Mankind" was featured along with a couple of tiny art pieces.
- In December 2021 - January 2022, one of my larger pieces, "Wanderlust", was featured in the Present Tense show at Gibsons Public Art Gallery (GPAG).
- In 2019 and 2020 and 2022 I had the privilege of showing several pieces of my work at our beautiful Gibsons Public Market venue for month long shows each year.
- Back in February 2018 I had four of my pieces featured in the "Sensuality" Art Exhibit at One Flower One Leaf Gallery, Gibsons.
- In 2018-2019, I had the honour of having one of my pieces, "The Brightest Star", which is my tribute to singer, songwriter, Gord Downie, featured on a chocolate bar for "Art Meets Chocolate", which was here in Gibsons. I am really proud of this work and so happy this beautiful and delicious bar was being distributed across Canada! I subsequently shared my work "Make a Wish" and "Cedar Majesty" which were also featured on these great chocolate bars.
