"I like to work with recyclable materials, turning carboard boxes into small pieces of furniture, doll houses, storage and work boxes; wine bottles into offbeat figurines and scraps of linoleum into painted mats. I believe art can be practical as well as ornamental and bring delight to the mundane things in our lives, such as floor mats or pencil holders. I enjoy using acrylics, watercolours and pencils (colour or graphite) to paint or draw flowers and animals. I also write and illustrate children’s stories for the Glengarry Trails story boxes."
