So grateful to live and work on Manitoulin Island

So grateful to live and work on Manitoulin Island... More than anything, I am so blessed to have a wonderful supportive husband who builds the frames for my paintings...cooks dinner every night and makes me laugh every day. For our kids and grandkids who pour so much love into my heart and encourage me to do what I love even when I'm covered in paint at the end of the day-).

Family is everything to me...and they are so supportive. This is us at my first solo show at Perivale Gallery in July 2026

I'm so thankful to live in a place like Manitoulin Island....where nature abounds and the people are amazing. Only come here if you are prepared to fall in love with Manitoulin...it's a very different lifestyle. Nature...and lots of quiet. So grateful to live and work on Manitoulin Island

I'm also very grateful to the amazing photographers here on Manitoulin who kindly give me permission to paint from their photos. They inspire me every day. At the risk of leaving someone out...particular gratitude to Craig Jackson Photography and Peter Baumgarten at Creative Island Photography. Check out their websites for more of Manitoulin

I'm also grateful to My Manitoulin Real Estate...my other business...which gives me flexibility to do what I love to do in two ways!
