How long have you been painting?
I’ve been painting since I retired 20 years ago. I’ve been studying with Cheryl for about 15 years.

Nature, and classes with other people always increase my creativity.
Do you have a favourite subject?
Landscapes and flowers are favourites
Do you have any favourite artists?
Our Canadian Group of Seven and Stephen Quiller.
How does painting affect your life?
Painting allows me to express my inner soul. It appears to bring happiness to others as well.
