Below are samples of some of my favourite watercolour paintings created over the past 36 years. As you will see, my subject matter changes from landscapes to florals - and sometimes even includes found objects from around my home.
After spending over 40 years in Sault Ste. Marie, we moved to Bolton, Ontario in May of 2007. My work was then featured at the juried Hills of the Headwaters Exhibition in September 2007, the Alton Gallery in Alton and the Skylark Gallery in Bolton.
On August 1, 2008, we relocated to Etobicoke, in Toronto, and I am gradually establishing connections with galleries in this area.
In January 2009, I was one of the featured artists at 2009 Artists' Choice Winter Exhibition at the Neilson Park Creative Centre.
From November 28th - 29th, 2009, I once again participated in Winter Artfest at the Neilson Park Creative Centre in Etobicoke.
I featured my watercolour paintings; watercolour cards; Afghrannies and also reintroduced my 1981 Janie Cards.
In the Spring of 2010, I was a featured artist in the Spring Awakenings edition of ARABELLA magazine.
In December 2011, ARABELLA released a coffee table book, which features the best of ARABELLA from the past few years.
I am delighted that my work is once again featured in this lovely book.
And, now, in response to requests, I am including information about the status of the various paintings.
Although many of them are already SOLD - or part of my permanent collection -
I have now updated my website to include additional images of paintings that are currently available for sale.
Some are framed - others, which are more recent, are still unframed. You can, therefore, frame to match your decor...
You will now find the the selling price listed with each painting below.
