I envisioned expanding the same concepts of design that I used in stained glass and quilting into my own through a new medium painting acrylic on canvas. I developed my signature style of painting depictions of contemporary stylized Canadian landscapes in VIBRANT BOLD CLEAN LINES OF COLOUR outlined in white. I paint from memory and the emotional experience rather than photographs. My landscape paintings have a feeling of peace, solitude and quiet. I am inspired by The Group of Seven and their use of bold colour and graphic style. My paintings take on a new life through exuberant use of colour laid down in parallel strips and outlining in white. My signature use of different colours and brilliant hues create depth and vibrancy which are offset with simplified forms and solid shapes. It’s all about not being afraid of colour.
