When did I start painting? I don't remember, but I think I might have been just a little child, when I did my first drawings. What is your favorite subject to paint and why? My much loved theme to paint is abstract painting. I love to allow my imagination take wings and unleash my mind's eye to what provides me enjoyment while I paint. What is your favorite medium for art? My preferred mediums are oils and acrylics. My first experience with oils was in 1997 and I just feal in love with it. What did you really get from Art School? In 1999-2000 I went to the Ottawa School of Art which was a magnificent experience for me. Paint, paint, paint is all I wanted to do. I was out there painting all the time. Tell us more about you! In 2005 my dream came to a halt as illness took over my life. After having went through hard times fighting illness that invaded me, being partially paralyzed and in chronic pain made it hard for me to do what I love to do. In 2007 a flood filled our house and I lost some of my beautiful artwork except for my 2002 abstract art Collection and a few other paintings and pastels. Now I am back to being an artist part time and so happy to be able to let my free will imagination being creative again. I thank life every day for being here. For the first time my 2002 abstract art Collection is for sale as it had always been part of my own home decor. I dedicate part of my life to what I love to do and that is painting from the heart.
