AVALON
ARTS & CRAFTS STUDIO
Born into a military family in Win-
nipeg, Manitoba in 1952, my
family was always in transition
from one province to another. Fly-
ing in my father’s small airplane
over the Alberta prairies gave me
a global perspective of the world
and the desire to fly to exotic
places like Qatar, Italy, Holland,
Costa Rica, UK, Scotland and Mex-
ico. For now I find my inspiration
in the big sky of Lambton -
Chatham - Kent and the flowers
that I grow in my garden and in
my dining room window.
I like to paint in acrylic water-
colour on canvas but recently, I
have been exploring the medium
of watercolour, pastels and pencil
crayon drawing.
