Since the mid 1980’s, my visual arts career has evolved through experiences of exhibition, teaching, operating a retail gallery, and creating innovative original works in acrylic painting, art glass, clay and digital media.
My most recent body of work , Crucible, created with the generous support of the Manitoba Arts Council, is an exploration of connections and new direction in my art.
Meshing style, technique and content of diverse media has resulted in increasingly focussed thematic structure and content.
I'm honoured to have been invited to present a new media exhibition with PLATFORMonline in the fall of 2009.
In Arcana, a new media project, I explore the legacy of an inheritance of several sets of Tarot cards painted and illustrated by my maternal grandmother, in Europe, in the early 1900's.
Special thanks to everyone at Tougaloo College* in Jackson, Mississippi, for your gracious hospitality. Being invited as guest artist, and Digital Arts instructor, proved to be one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.
The 12th Annual Tougaloo Art Colony and Hot Art Exhibit, July 12-18, 2008, was an amazing week long indulgence in the visual arts for artists, art educators and students.
(*Tougaloo is a Native American word referencing the meeting of two rivers)
