An Adoration for nature is expressed on her canvasses. Conceived through a unique impulse, these recent paintings are created in the style of “Realism In Fantasy”. In this series of works you can sense hints of romance through evocative compositions of nature, executed with a modernist expression and abstraction. Her creations are displayed at her Southampton home/studio, she accepts commissions. “You see the soul of the landscape beyond its physical majesty. I feel like I am inside these places”. “Evocative, Ambient and Atmospheric”. —Impressions of art patrons Artist Statement My work is an exploration of realism in fantasy; I have a strong passion to recreate nature in a fantasy atmosphere on canvas and hopefully, give pleasure to people's imaginations.  Nature's magic work on earth, organic shapes and patterns created by its force inspires me. My paintings are the moods and colours of Lake Huron, the rocky beauty of Georgian Bay and Muskoka region, shorelines and fauna of Southampton and Lake Ontario.
