I can not imagine a world without flowers.

  I remember marsh marigolds in the spring when I was growing up on a farm in Northern Ontario. We found arbutus on the rocks when there was still snow on the ground. Later in summer wild roses bloomed in the grove, a favorite place of mine and throughout the long cold winter red geraniums grew on the windowsill.

  I now grow red geraniums and love to paint them. Wild roses are still special to me. Daisies, buttercups and thistle grow by Stumpy Bay Road at our camp and if I am lucky and brave enough to venture into the bush I can sometimes find a wild orchid.

  Blueberries are Sudbury's fruit and I enjoy painting them as well. My blueberry paintings have gone all over the world including England, Ireland, Germany and the U.S.A and Bulgaria.

  I find watercolour to be a challenging, magical medium especially suited to floral painting.
