I am drawn to the environment and my affinity to nature inspires me to paint in order to portray the beauty around me. Capturing a fleeting a time and space on a canvas is the ultimate challenge for me.

Have you ever considered what you would miss if you lost your sight?

As an artist, the idea of not being able to see paintings, and the beauty around me in general, brings me deep sadness. This sadness created a desire inside of me to somehow include the unsighted with viewing my artwork.

Margaret’s oil paintings and watercolours are influenced by the colours and textures of nature, and they often depict pastoral scenes and landscapes.

Carmen loves Nature in all its expressions, she paints a variety of themes (landscapes, people, animals.). 

Eileen’s abstract paintings are expressionistic in style, yet contemplative. She draws inspiration for her smaller landscape paintings from the people and places around her.

To focus on human or animal subjects is my preference, my goal being to capture the spirituality of God?s creations with a realistic likeness.? Landscapes and flowers, magnificent examples of God?s powers, often become the focus of my artistic imagery, but I will attempt a humorous subject from time to time
