How long have you been painting?
Painting has been a part of my life on and off since childhood. It only has taken a major role since 2005 when I began classes with Cheryl.
-
Why did you first want to learn to paint?
I have always been creative with things like knitting and sewing, but find that painting gives a more immediate result and satisfaction. I tried decorative painting but found it too rigid.
-
What type of paint do you like to work in?
Acrylics for the versatility. I also like to play with acrylic mediums.
-
Do you have a favourite subject?
Right now I’m painting a lot of trees.
-
What inspires you to be creative?
Colour and texture in painting are very important to me. Often the subject matter is secondary.
-
Do you have any favourite artists?
I have always been attracted to Monet, van Gogh, and Group of Seven paintings; and more recently the work of Stephen Quiller.
-
How does painting affect your life?
Painting is a gift to myself. It nurtures me in a good way and helps to balance me. It makes me feel whole.
