Artist who enjoys using color and texture to reflect the emotion and beauty of life





Both an artist and an author, I have illustrated many of the children's books I've written. On occasion I also do writing and editing for nonprofit organizations.
I use a variety of ceramic forms classical and modern to explore raku, saggar and smoke firing techniques. Please call 746 1907 for viewing of work.




I paint in oil and acrylic, en plain air and studio, scenes of life, today and yesterday. I am a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Maple Bay Painters and the Cowichan Valley Arts Council, conducting workshops, demos and teaching with the CVRD recreation program, Elder College and various art groups. My work is in private collections in BC, Alberta, Ontario and UK.






I build furniture, boxes and now and then boats. I'm not making a living at it, but my small house has no room for more so I sell to customers who want traditional or original handcrafted furniture that will last. I can work with customers to modify designs or select specialty materials to suit their taste.

Watercolour painter, miniatures, mandalas, botanicals.

The hen's provide a seemingly endless supply of amusement, coloured eggs
and creative inspiration.
"Too many eggs for us!" to consume has me considering a Rainbow Eggs &
Chick Magnets Farm Stand..."
