Location	London, ON, Canada
Introduction	Born in Toronto, now living in London, Ontario. I am a narrative artist, that is I tell stories about everyday people with my art, and in particular. about my life growing up, in Toronto and later raising four Boomers in Scarborough. I like to bring our stories back to life with my acrylics and canvas and show today's generation that there was life (albeit primitive) in the last century that was real and alive and very much like the people walking around today (without cellphones of course). I want to also jog the memories of my generation that once we, too, ruled the world and didn't need walkers to get from point A to point B. With this in mind, I speak to seniors groups and others, and show my paintings and laugh about ourselves today and yesterday.
Interests	Art, art marketing. artists, galleries, calls for artists, public speaking (about art), Toronto, family and friends, shopping, cars. shoes, news (no politics, please) and anything that makes me laugh!
Favorite movies	Almost anything made before 1960 and a few musicals after that. I must admit I have a crush on Johnny Depp and would love to set him on my knee and hug him to bits.
Favorite music	Big band, jazz, Sinatra, Leonard Cohen, Peter Allen, Dave Brubeck, Stan Kenton.
Favorite books	Anything by Allistair McClean and most women writers, with the exception of Atwood.
