What Inspires my Work?

The inspiration for my work comes most often from sketching. I am rarely without a sketchbook. I sketch while travelling, when waiting somewhere, with friends, with the Gallery Painting Group during our paint outs and at home, both indoors and in our garden.
My sketchbooks are my most important source of inspiration, my workbook, my greatest teachers, my visual diary and the place I can experiment freely.

Here is a sketch I did at Solitude Nature Reserve this spring.

And here are two of the paintings sketching trilliums inspired.

If you would like to see more trillium paintings or those inspired by other Wildflowers and Weeds, visit my website at
