Life sometimes brings us full circle. I grew up in the small fishing village of Port Bickerton, Nova Scotia and moved to various places in Canada throughout my career returning here to retire with my husband in 2014. This rugged environment has always influenced my art. The rolling seas, crashing waves on foggy rocky shores, fisherman hauling lobster traps and interior forest scenes instilled in me a strong sense of place and belonging. 

I paint representational landscapes and seascapes in oil and pastel and always strive to achieve the mood and feeling of place above all else.  

My paintings can be found at my gallery “Kaiser Cove Studio and Gallery” at 37 Beach View Drive in Port Bickerton, Nova Scotia.   In addition to painting full time I’m the Director of the Artist in Residence programme for the Port Bickerton Lighthouse in Nova Scotia.   When not found in studio, I can be found exploring and painting en plein air in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Maine. I am represented by Down to Earth Gallery, Antigonish .
