I have made my home in the beautiful province of New Brunswick Canada since 1966. After high school graduation, I completed the necessary training and entered the field of hairdressing. After enjoying a twenty year career as a hairdresser and eventually owner of Burton Hairstyling, I retired and decided to pursue other interests and avenues.
Having always been artistic and creative, I found myself becoming fascinated with art, specifically painting. I immerse myself in studying the psychology of art, colour theory, composition principles and technique.
My work is inspired by my life experiences. I like to paint the land, water and all of its inhabitants as a way of preserving the beauty and my own sense of wonder. I paint Faces as an ongoing series that represents the woman in transition. My abstracts and expressive pieces are based on exploration and creative freedom. I have recently become interested in experimenting with different techniques and adding textural elements to my acrylic paintings. I strive to create work that is emotive and sensitive.
I am always looking for opportunities to display and sell my work. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in beautiful art.
Currently I have paintings gracing the walls of The Oromocto Therapeutic Treatment Clinic which is located in the Canex Mall on Broad Road in Oromocto N.B. The artwork is renewed every two months and all are available for purchase.
