With my photographs I attempt
to capture wildlife, scenery, and light effects in the natural environment and
urban environment.
I am now retired after teaching in High Schools for 37 years, 4 years in England and 33 years in Montreal (Physical education & Math) and have lived in Prince George for the past four years.
My art awareness grew from visits to numerous European and North American art galleries and exhibitions. I am a self-taught photographer who has been taking black-and-white and colour photographs since about 1950. I participated in one nature photography workshop with Freeman Patterson in Montreal. Member, Montreal Camera Club, 1994-95.
I have had photos published in The Nature Society News, (1980), A Canadian Automobile Association book Drive North America (1983), Harrowsmith (1988), The University Women's Club of Montreal Newsletter (1990), Concordia University's Thursday Report (1991), and Herstory Calendar (1995). I have shown photographs at the following exhibitions: "As Far As I Can See," UNBC, 1996; Artists' Workshop/Studio Fair 1998; and "Yowls and Growls" Juried exhibition, Prince George Art Gallery, 1999.
The photos in this exhibition are from my travels in Canada, Sweden, Italy, and Australia.
