I was born in Denmark. At 13 my family and I came to Canada
In school I was always drawing women with different attire .It was thought that I would go into illustration or such-but as a new immigrant with little money we had to be practical. At 18 I became a hair stylist. I loved styling hair and enjoyed the people. I had my own Salon ,competed extensively and won many awards, In 2003 I retired from hair styling .
I started to paint and just loved it .I have explored all the mediums -each one has its charm.
I like painting people [ and maybe because of my background] I seem to be able to do it with ease. Animals are easy for me as well and fun . In the portraits I like the actions or pose to tell a story and to reveal something about the subjects personality. Over the years I have become known for my local images with a nautical chart in the background and for my bright bold poppies .
I also love doing abstracts , exploring textures and mixed media . After I have completed a painting that is more representational I usually love to get into a more free spirited one .
