Established a practice in pottery/ceramics in Kingston. Sold and exhibited my work locally, provincially and nationally for about 35 years.
During the latter years of that period began to pick up painting again and working in pastels. Used large soft hand rolled pastels for the most part, and worked on black, coloured and sanded papers. Exhibited and still exhibit work on paper and canvas, mostly in Kingston. Subject matter includes: still life, often using my own work in clay, and landscape. Long time member of the Organization of Kingston Women Artists and have often exhibited with them.
