About

Creating in watercolour is as natural a part of me as breathing. My paintings are colourful, loose and free. I am always intrigued with the way the colours mingle with the water on my paper. I have been painting for many years now and continue to enjoy the excitement and anticipation when starting a new piece.

I work from my home studio on the Grand River in Fergus Ontario. I’m a graduate of Fine Arts at Sheridan College, Ontario Teachers College and a 3rd year student at OCAD University. I have taught watercolour workshops for many years in Ontario and Mexico.

Organizer

Elora Fergus Studio Tour

For nearly 40 years, a dedicated and well-structured volunteer group made up of participating artists has successfully organized this annual event. At the heart of the Elora Fergus Studio Tour is a strong spirit of community collaboration. We work closely with local businesses throughout Elora and Fergus to secure sponsorships, advertising support, brochure distribution, printing, signage production, and promotional partnerships that help strengthen both the tour and the local economy. These valued relationships, combined with outreach through social media and local media outlets, allow us to promote the tour effectively and cost-efficiently each year.

A key partner in the success of the tour is the Elora Centre for the Arts, which hosts our main gallery exhibition and serves as an important cultural hub for both artists and visitors. Together with the support of local businesses and community organizations, the Elora Fergus Studio Tour has established itself as one of Canada’s premier artist studio tours, known for its professionalism, artistic excellence, and strong community connections.
