First and foremost, I'm a mother of 2 - that's always been my favourite and most important job.  I worked for the same employer for almost 31 years - a fantastic job - but I'm enjoying puttering and painting now instead.  I started painting when I was about 40.  Well, I painted a lot of walls in various homes prior to that, but that was the extent of it.  I didn't enjoy art classes in school either, perhaps because they were too structured, but more likely because I would have rather been anywhere than in a classroom.  
My sisters are all talented but I hadn't really given much thought to putting paint on canvas.  But one day, I convinced my dad to come with me to a local art class and the rest is history.  
I work from a studio in my home now.
Generally, I paint dogs and cats but you'll see I paint other animals as well.  I've included some in my
​"Gallery" page.
