In her own words.
"I recently moved back to Kingston after several
years on the West Coast. Since returning to Kingston,
I have been able to pursue painting in addition to teaching
violin and working towards a teaching degree.
During my time in Vancouver, I went to school at Simon
Fraser University and took part in many new music productions.
I worked with student composers, film-makers, and a
wide range of musicians.
Though I did not have any formal art training, I was
part of a very creative group of people and had performances
or other projects on the go almost continuously. I also
attended life-drawing sessions and was part of several
community art projects in my neighbourhood.
I met my partner Martin while I was in Vancouver and
when we moved to Kingston together I was able to have
several months to myself to work on painting. I thank
him for the gift of that time.
My studies in Kingston at QECVI in the Creative Arts
County Program set an excellent foundation for me. Through
the program I was able to experiment with a wide variety
of media and techniques, including still-life, anatomy,
drawing and painting, textile-arts, paper-making, and
mural painting. The program also included several exhibits
where my art was shown publicly for the first time.
The program is unique in Ontario and I believe it is
a great asset to the community.
This spring I will be returning to QECVI to teach as
part of a three-week practicum in the Creative Arts
program."
