and Philadelphia. I graduated from high school in Toronto where
I obtained my B.A at York University. I received a B.Ed. degree
from the University of Toronto.
In 1974, I married Ellis and moved to a farm north of Toronto,
where we run an organic cow-calf operation, Nobleton Kennels.
We completed the Environmental Farm Plan in 2007 and 2008
and part of it was to put in Wood Duck houses and a bluebird trail.
I am a member of the Ontario Eastern Bluebird Society.
I have exhibited with the King Studio Tour and King Museum in
King City, Ontario, Skylight Gallery in Aurora, Daniel’s Restaurant
in Nobleton, The Aird Gallery and Canada Blooms.
I won Best-In-Shows for the Ontario Horticultural Association Annual General Meeting in Brampton August 24 2008 and the Schomberg Horticultural Fair Art Division May 2008 and an Honourable Mention at the Botanical Artists of Canada Todmorden show October 2007.
My two passions are birds and art so consequently I combine them into watercolours of birds. All of my works are originals painted on
300 pound Hot-press Fabriano paper.
