I came to the art of sculpture relatively late in life. As a young woman I studied Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba but decided to choose a different career path. A little over ten years ago, I was fortunate enough to resume my pursuit of art which had always gravitated towards portraiture. While I achieved success in drawing and painting portraits, it wasn't until I tried my hand at sculpting that I knew that I had found my true passion in life.

I have shown my work in various art shows and galleries in the Toronto area including a six week solo show at the Peel Heritage Gallery in Brampton Ontario. I was commissioned to sculpt the portrait of philanthropist/developer Maxwell Rice. His bronzed bust, on a granite pedestal, is installed in the main entrance of the Brampton Civic Hospital. The commission to sculpt the mayor of the city in which I live was a special honor. Mayor Hazel McCallion is widely known for her feisty no-nonsense approach to running the fifth largest city in Canada for over thirty years. The life size full figured bronzed sculpture will be installed as close to the ground as possible to encourage public interaction.

I have enjoyed the process of sculpting over two dozen commissions and have found reward in sharing my knowledge of sculpture by holding classes in my studio. I am proud of my innate ability to execute portraiture in the uniqueness of the three dimensional form. I achieve a deep satisfaction from being an integral part of a process that honors an individual's life in such a time enduring art form.
